I think people who haven't participated in competitive sports don't realise the extent to which PEDs are used. It's easy to point at obvious examples like weightlifting, where many top level athletes get popped periodically, take some time off and then come back even stronger [0]. Yet we like to believe that athletes like Usain Bolt (who somehow beat numerous confirmed doped athletes and comes from a country with a ... less than stelar reputation for doping) are clean [1].
