It pains me that running, track, and cycling are "notorious" for doping, but the major sports don't test at any practical level compared to the "dirty" sports.

Any sport, at high levels, definitely involve performance enhancing drugs.

Even ping pong, Adderall can be a tremendous help.

It's just that the other sports don't test as much, they are not worst or better.

That's my point. The major US and European sports don't really test, but the weight of PED blame falls on things like cycling and track.
