Sure, but it doesn't really. Or at least I don't see how it's possible to do it correctly. Such an analysis would need to: a) prove that such outliers are caused by cheating, b) prove *which* form of cheating led to those outliers, c) prove that each individual outlier *was* taking part in that form of cheating, etc. And even then all that manages to capture are outliers. It doesn't capture the hordes of players who weren't outliers, rather they were only in the league because they were using whatever form of cheating to help make the cut. In other words, the strong anti-cheating stances when applied to historical players is just as handwavey as the let it go philosophy I espoused earlier.
