More to the point...Curler's need performance enhancing drugs? I guess sweeping the ice at a set pace is strenuous. Or perhaps it is lifting and sliding the 40 lb stone.

...there are different classes of PED's that are banned. Not all of them are steroids that assist muscle building and recovery.

Some of them are stimulants and things that calm the body to assist in focus and smoothing out your small motor movements...they're popular in shooting sports.
