I seem to recall that the most common type of doping is actually to increase recovery, both to make it easier to train hard again the next day and to recover from injuries faster. Apparently it's pretty common in football (soccer) to get injured players back in action, and that's not a sport that most people would think benefits a lot from the classic doping types that increase muscle mass or endurance. Sure they run and have some physical contact, but not that much.
