PED's give a huge edge. Baseball is my wheelhouse, and the effects there are huge. It's such a large impact that many use them despite the stiff penalties for getting caught. The chance at the large payday is worth it, especially to a minor league player.
For some, they're after strength/size, but for others, it's the recovery factor. Their bodies bounce back quicker allowing them to train and play harder and to also take less days off. From a strength factor for a hitter, the difference can be seen in hitting easily. Many fly ball outs become doubles, and many doubles become homers. Sure, the ball that is way out still goes out without roids, but often the ball that lands in the third row is a double or an out. Homers = $$$
