Punish those higher up the doping chain

You're an athlete, and things are going pretty well. But as hard as you're training and racing, you just can't seem to break through. Other athletes are always quicker.

So you decide to give yourself an advantage. You'll take some EPO. It has worked for other athletes, and maybe it will work for you.

Perhaps you even convince yourself that everyone ahead of you is cheating, and it's the only way to win.

What's the next step? Who do you speak to? Where do you find EPO? How do you figure out how much of it to take and when, to try and avoid detection?

It's not like you can just walk into a pharmacy and walk out with EPO. And even if you could, you still have no idea what you're doing.

How many athletes who are caught doping have followed this route? I imagine it's very few of them.
