Just how much do performance enhancing drugs enhance one's performance? Is it 10% more for 10% longer or 1% more for 1% longer or no extra gain in speed but they enable you to keep up your best for longer? Can the effect be quantified?

I have seen figures suggested for EPO would give an improvement in power output at anaerobic threshold in the region of 10-15% - which is obviously very substantial.
It should be noted that something like EPO does not work on everyone to the same extent - some people are supposed to respond better to it than others - this gives a lie to the "why don't we legalise PEDs and let the athletes take whatever as they'll all be on the same level" argument.0
