It is interesting. I could write quite a bit about it, about which compounds various types of athletes might favor and why, about how it’s easy to hide PED use, etc.
My experience comes from being prescribed TRT starting 6 years ago. I had extensively read and researched supplementation and prohormones/SARMs/PEDs prior and used a couple of prohormones on deployments. Once I was prescribed testosterone, I realized the injections weren’t too bad and then I looked into the difference between a TRT dose and a steroid cycle dose. When I saw how cheap testosterone is, I upped my dose beyond the TRT dose to enhance my results a bit. Probably once a year, I push my TRT dose up to what’s considered a low-moderate steroid dose for about 10-12 weeks. On occasion I’ve added another compound or two for bigger results, but I haven’t done that in a few years now. Either way, I’ve researched them all pretty extensively and know a lot of more advanced users who are either competitively power lifting or body building and, in general, have spent enough time in that world to feel pretty certain PED use is far more widespread in professional sports than people think, and that most people IN pro sports know it, but they all keep it quiet to maintain the status quo and the impression that they’re all natural.
