Firstly, I have no idea about tennis, but I would not be surprised to find any high income professional sport riddled with PED use! The amount of money available is too high, as much as gambling or crime, so why wouldn't there be some organised criminal activities in most professional sports!
I suppose you could argue breaking down could easily be a symptom of PED use, especially if it is due to tears in muscles or connecting tissue. The tell might be how quickly someone recovers from these types of injuries!
The CheatsFC saga exposed the many and varied benefits of PEDs, it wasn't just about being stronger or faster, it was also about being able to recover quicker which allowed a heavier work load than an otherwise unassisted athlete.
