Contending that something's invisibility and lack of presence proves that it's actually there, isn't really very logical

It could be that the number of "performance enhancers" is not what the public imagines it to be.

Again - it's not a big secret what "drugs or compounds" people are trying to use, or are using. On a TB track, or a Standardbred track, or a QH track, or a human athletic event. There are only so many ways to affect performance. Only so many things that could do so. Geesh, go on the internet, search, and find them yourself. People are not making up new magic potions out of thin air (although they don't seem to hesitate to try anything)

Yes, not everything known to be used can be found in blood or urine, currently.
