Dope was originally heroin (or in the really old days, morphine), but over the last few years it has increasingly come to mean "a mix of opioids and other drugs/adulterants". As the article references, it's a lot more likely to be fentantyl, which is stronger and cheaper than heroin. Given the relative potency I would imagine that its proportionally a lower percentage of fentanyl compared to heroin, but I don't recall the article specifying.
