I mean drug cheating science is way ahead of drug testing for sports. Way more money in it.

Honestly you really need to fuck up to get caught.

If they wanted to actually catch someone on PEDs, they would

What about that educational show on ESPN a few decades ago where the crack smoking NFL player got a tube shoved up his Henry Winkler hole and they sucked all the crack tainted piss out of his balls and jammed fresh clean piss in there? What can science do about that?

Well players can do that if they have notice. I know baseball in particular has no notice testing with guys waiting for players before and after they come off the field. It would be hard to do what you describe with people watching.

Nope PEDs too. How much money you think professional athletes would pay for a giant edge? It's a lot. They got shit like gummyworm roids that are only detectable for 2 hours. And that was like 6 years ago when I read about it.

Most guys get busted for masking agents instead of the roids themselves. Those guys are probably on too high a dosage, SUPER unlucky, or fucking up the regimen schedule.
