Anecdotally I’ve heard from professional athletes that steroid use is actually liked by coaches because it gives them better control over the locker room. If someone becomes an issue in the locker room, guess who is getting randomly selected for testing without a heads up warning.
Similar thinking applies in other fields as well I am sure.
yep, the concept is more general than steroids and often goes by terms like "blackmail" or "leverage"
