Do you even read? How can you understand the following quoted above suggests doping control in bodybuilding is "quite effective"?
"Professional bodybuilding is widely considered to be heavily influenced by performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), with usage rampant in top-level competitions."
The claim about WADA grouping t and f with bodybuilding, weightlifting and cycling for risk of doping comes from WADA. If you read more widely you would know this.
It is widely considered because anti-doping is more effective at catching bodybuilding dopers. It is effective because more samples are testing positive. Against a backdrop of a global average of around 1% of samples testing positive, in bodybuilding that figure was 11%, and in previous years, as much as 16%.
You have a proven track record of either misquoting sources, or misattributing sources, or both, assuming for argument that such a quote was ever made in the first place.
In addition to repeatedly asking you for the original source, I have long searched for such a WADA quote, without success. I just asked AI to help me find the WADA quote, and here is the response:
"No. There is no single official quote, press release, or document from WADA that neatly groups exactly those four sports together under a single "high-risk" verbal statement."
