Doping - an irregular verb

I wonder what might be about to hit the headlines that's being pre-empted by this story?

You don't get to compete at the top level in "sport" without being deep into a grey area of medications. Within the grey area it's largely political who gets allowed vs who gets banned. Russia being firmly on the wrong side of that, we shouldn't be surprised if they seek evidence of what others are getting away with.

The irregular verb is perhaps a little complex:

Me? I take only my essential medicines as ordered by the doctor.

You? Your team doctor creatively bends the rules.

Ivan? He dopes.
