Why is doping in athletics so hard to police?

224 views

I know that ‘doping’ is a very loose term, which might answer this, but either way, clearly it goes on, implying that athletes believe they can beat the system. Why can’t it be simpler to just catch them and make it way too risky to try it?

It would be a lot simpler if everyone stopped letting Russia police themselves (which is what allows them to misplace/mislabel samples) and if they faced actual consequences when caught passing clean samples through glory holes. How often do we hear of a non-Russian athlete getting caught doping at an international competition?
