The function of doping controls isn’t to stop doping, it’s to keep it to a dull roar. Everyone above a certain level of every sport is using some form of PEDs. You can’t not – the margins of difference in terms of performance are so small, and the benefits so great, that even microdosing is very worth it. Effective anti-doping controls keep things like Tom Simpson from happening – died of a heart attack mid-race after doing enormous quantities of PEDs and street drugs.

If we were really worried about athletes, we wouldn’t incentivize winning so much in our culture.
