As a pharma guy, I can keep keep you ahead of the doping agencies most of the time. They always catch up, but we’re very good at figuring out new molecules to tickle receptors or otherwise affect physiology. If you’re willing to accept some risk of a) compounds without widespread testing b) possibly being caught eventually, I can give you an edge.
I think a lot of top athletes are willing to take those risks to be competitive and would be shocked if there wasn’t a lot of doping still going on.

Reply to comment by LastMinuteChange in TIL that in 2005 burglars stole $71.6 million from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil by setting up a fake landscaping company near the bank and digging a 256ft tunnel beneath two city blocks to the bank over 3 months. Neighbors noticed vanloads of soil removed daily but assumed it was business-related. by Lagavulin16_neat
You laugh, but I’m literally in the market for a large pile of nice dirt.
