LDL doesn't just clog your arteries because it exists.

Sugar ablates endothelial cells in the arteries. LDL binds to the damage to repair it.

Eating less fat means eating more sugar which causes more damage.

Blaming LDL for blockage is like saying gauze pads cause gunshot wounds.

It's not damage that allows LDL into the artery. There are proteins that carry it across.

It's not that simple.

What the abstract actually says: "Endothelial function after high-sugar food ingestion is improved by endurance exercise performed on the previous day"

But, I wasn't referring to this when I said it's not that simple. I was referring to your comment about eating less fat means eating more sugar.
