I can't find it now, but about 10-12 years ago they did an anonymous survey of people doing European Ironman events, and iirc 25-30% admitted they were doping. This isn't just the pros - it's the weekend slvlss hobbyists who stand to get nothing more than a participation medal.
Testing was almost non-existent, so they could easily get away with it, but really - for a participation medal and some idle boasting in the office to people who have no real idea what an Ironman actually is?
