Individual players have occasionally been caught for various small infractions, but there’s never been a major BALCO-type scandal. How is that possible?

Baseball: Hit the ball farther or throw the ball faster
Basketball: somewhat valuable, but not incredibly important
Strength sports: duh
Pro Wrestling: look jacked
