Archery?
I hate to break it to you, but archery even has its own special PED -- alcohol!
In fact, World Archery was "disappointed" in 2017 when WADA ended its ban on alcohol in archery. WA was so sure alcohol boosted performance that they kept the ban in place on their own.

That's what I thought, too, but it turns out we were both wrong. The Bronze medalist in 2018 was stripped of his medal and give a four year ban after he tested positive for meldonium.

Curling. There has been doping in that sport, too.

Ans you would need to be an idiot to think that. there is a world championship of checkers. You can bet someone is doing peds to get an edge. Heck bridge players have been caught doping....
The old you are an idiot argument to prove your point.
A standard on letsrun.
If you want to disprove maybe, you should supply some actual facts.
Until then, maybe stands.
theres some sports where you wouldnt need PED's to win.surfing,skateboarding.bmx racing,golf,sailing,equestrian,shooting,lawn bowls,synchronised swimming,rhythmic gymnastics,archery and perhaps canoeing.hockey ,fencing and diving.possibly water polo and volleyball as well.

Dressage- if you consider that a sport.
No way, horses are doped to the withers man. Every racehorse trainer I’ve ever read about sounds like a Soviet lab manager from the 1980’s, I guarantee dressage is not far behind.
Horse doping would def not surprise me in jumping/eventing, but for a horse just doing dressage? I’m not sure what drugs could help with that

Though Coevett may not agree as the winner of the first race looks like he may have North African ancestry.
Also, was that Jamin coming in third last at 1:42?

Calming them, mostly.
https://dressage-news.com/2009/06/24/flash-isabell-werth-positive-dopingtest-at-wiesbaden/Isabell Werth, Germany’s top dressage rider, was suspended from all competitions Wednesday following a positive doping test of her developing small tour horse, Whisper.
The German equestrian federation that announced the suspension under rules introduced in 2008 described as “a catastrophe” the positive “A” test for the psychotropic drug Fluphenazine that is typically used to calm a horse.
This thread has been done before. A plurality thought gymnastics had the least amount of doping. Which makes sense as it doesn't need endurance and more strength isn't going to really help a gymnast. Its plagued by the subjectivity of judges, but that's a whole different issue.
The sports with the most doping are probably the horse sports as you can inject a horse with anything and who cares if its dead at 3 or 4.

Mathematics prevents you from doping?

Strength is crucial to gymnastics - especially the men's. Try a "crucifix" on the rings some time.

He looks jacked and possibly doping, but you would think if you were taking anything it would be Adderall for concentration.
Table Tennis looks like it could be won by a non-doped competitor.
