Yes, because all the top tier athletes are also on drugs, they are just restricted to drugs that don’t stay in the blood for very long, or simply aren’t banned yet (remember that Ment was only banned a few years ago by WADA, so until a few years ago every athlete was free to use one of the craziest steroids on the market)
Let’s not forget the fact that ones who actually used drugs will be banned from any other competitions for many months or even years.
So, these other athletes are likely not in the “top tier”. It would be good to hear opinion from someone experienced to tell if it’s true.
Right. And the drugs won’t get them to top tier levels either.

I am surprised there aren’t some swimmers competing that smoke weed on their off times, but don’t use PED in general.
