In the info posted above, you can see there is offseason testing but the player has 2 weeks to respond to a request for testing. Then from that point of contact they presumably have a timeline of another few days to actually take the test. A good trainer will have you on drugs that are able to flushed from the system in 2 weeks. Then you avoid banned substances during the season when you could be tested at a moment's notice and get back on the regimen in the offseason.
So we actually aren't stopping the use of PED's, we're just making hoops for players to jump through. But the leagues ignore that and pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

I not only want players to be given the choice to use it, I want it encouraged. I want sports to become a freak show of steroid use and genetic engineering. Not only at the professional level, but at the amateur level.
I want pharma companies to be able to sponser players to show their awesome ability to push humans to the tidle point of freakish perfection.
I want players getting smashed through the boards in a rage and unloading 200 mile an hour slapshots at goalies with legs 8 feet think and hands that look like 4 foot across catching gloves.
I want Olympic weight lifting records to be 5 digits. I want swimmers with blow holes and flipper feet. Boxers with cast iron fists.
I want 17 feet tall basket ball players, and defensive linemen that weight 500 pounds who can run the 40 in under 3 seconds.
I want to achieve warp speed at the hundred meter dash and because Marathons are so boring, I want them run in under 30 minutes.
Its what's best for business.
Can you imagine A highjumper wearing Phizer gear leaping 30 feet in the air while two executives talk about their latest steroid, that goes up for sale on Monday?
Can you imagine if the battle between pitcher and batter because a battle between a pitcher with steroids running through his veins with a literal cannon for an arm against a batter who's arm is a cast iron skillet shaped bat that he can swing at 800 miles an hour, fans being deafened by the sonic bomb of the ball screaming into the next state or killed by the artificial singularity ripped in the time space continuum?
I want
