look, all i know is that in terms of a country's own drug testing americans get caught waaaayyyyyyy more than other countries, so american athletes are actually incentivised not to take them.

in other countries, virtually no-one is caught by their country's drug testing because they dont actually have drug testing, and they prevent international organisations from testing them in the offseason; and then when the winners of the olympics get tested by the international organisation, basically all countries accept america get popped.

and again, i dont think steroids have a major effect in olympic weightlifting, so none of this ultimately matters; genetics is key

Genetics gets you to the platform, steroids gets you medals.

ask yourself this: if steroid gets you the medals, why has usain bolt been so undefeated? he takes more steroids? again, more steroids is bad for speed. also, why hasn't he been popped? more steroids means easier to catch.
