Maybe he isn't, but there wouldn't be a point; if everyone else is doping, it wouldn't be cheating for him to do so. I'm not saying he isn't, just that there wouldn't be a point to hiding it.

There's a big financial/career motive here. Race winners were paid something like $250K, and if you broke a clean world record you got a $1 million bonus.

You dope to win the money. You can win because the best athletes are largely still competing in tested games. You say you're clean so you can potentially get back in to competitions with testing and make more money.

Are.... Are they testing them to check they're not enhanced at the enhanced games?

Hiding it in this case seems to be just saying you're not doping? Since there's no reason to be doing tests in an event where it's ok to dope?
