Default Performance enhancing drugs in the workplace

So I was thinking... PEDs are banned in sports but are they banned in a normal workplace? Do they test for them in standard drug tests?

Theoretically employees could become extremely productive in both blue and white collar jobs with PEDs... Bosses could encourage employees to use PEDs to improve productivity and performance. For example employees on performance improvement plans could be given steroids to help improve them become more active.

If a large organization gave all their employee population PEDs they'd probably blow all competition out of the water by churning out awesome results quarter after quarter, but would it be legal? Obviously employees who also participated in sports would only be given PEDs that aren't banned in sports.

I was reading this article when this idea came up
