Empty victory

I noticed today, as I trolled various strength sport forums, that there is quite a bit of discussion regarding ways to "fool" drug tests. I was curious why someone that is using drugs would want to lift in a tested federation? What exactly is the motivation? Wouldn't it be the same if you won a contest in a raw fed wearing gear? Seems like it would be an empty victory and not something to be proud of. If your not strong enough to win, you shouldn't win. If you win because you had an unfair advantage, the win doesn't mean anything anyway. I just don't understand the psychology of it.
