It's the other way round; most PEDs _are_ medicine for regular people, abused by athletes. E.g., synthetic EPO is really useful if you just had chemotherapy for cancer and that killed off nearly all of your red blood cells.

Anyways, if you want competitions with doping, there are high-level bodybuilder competitions that don't test.

You're absolutely correct.

Other sports lack it as well. Body building is fascinating, but not in the same category as say... running 100m in under 9 seconds.
