People aren’t that bright.

I think it tells us that shooting doesn’t require a great deal of physical strength, so such competitors would not benefit from doping and are therefore subject to less scrutiny. Also, these sports are less popular.

I don’t think anybody has been caught doping in archery. I have heard of some very unsportsmanlike conduct. I think it was back in the Sydney Olympics, someone unscrewed the plunger on one of the British athlete’s bow. She ended up shooting an arrow way to the right.

Someone did get caught for using beta blockers in shooting this year. Just tell you they’ll try anything.
