I rowed just below international level and several of my former team mates have world and olympic medals. Also, I know that my pure power output was better than some of the international rowers and I didn't even take Creatine. My house mate is in a national team squad right now and he gets surprise tested every few months. He actually has to keep a calendar of where he sleeps every single night so they can find you in the morning... I doubt there is much cheating going on in rowing, like you said, it's just not worth it financially.
