It is easy to prove doping with cycling because the doping is way more likely to provide a huge benefit to the cyclists, but that argument isn't as easy to make with baseball.
No amount of drugs with improve the intangibles it takes to be a great baseball player. They can help it, but at the end of the day either you have it or you don't. Jeter is a great example of this. He isn't big by any stretch, but he's been a damn good player for years. He just has it.
Hockey on the other hand is to me a lot more prone to doping. Not sure what the NHL doping protocols are, but I'd imagine if they can't catch cyclists, they probably can't catch hockey players either.
