Interesting.
I can say that at the gym I go to, that is absolutely not the case. There is a very healthy, warm, inviting culture. There are cliques, of course, but it's mostly just based around class times and relationships developed over time. We're getting tons of new members and a significant amount are sticking around.
I think it's up to the owners and coaches to prevent that sort of shitty culture from developing in their gyms, just like it is their responsibility to preach about form and safe practices. Wherever you go, there will be shitty, judgmental people.
I have on clue if anyone takes any sort of PEDs at my gym.. I doubt it, we only have a handful of people could even sniff a chance at regionals.

Same with me. A gym closed recently and we took on a lot of them. Very different, and very different skill levels, but most of them joined after one session and stayed.
This is largely in part to the owners/coaches buying in. They're all big on positivity, self-confidence, and doing things the right way. They have no issue calling anyone out for stepping in line. As hulk said, cliques form from, but this is one of the most surprisingly supportive groups I've ever been a part of, and for every person with 3 pairs of brand new Metcons, there's another that's wearing torn up chucks
I would be really surprised if anyone at my gym doped (we had 1 regional athlete and a couple masters), but its not surprising that a lot of people at the high level do. I would imagine its pretty easy to do as CF is still gaining popularity. That being said, I don't think its fair to point at every dude at the top and saying they have to be doping.

Only one is close and she’s still there because her husband is a coach.
Most of the others, who are/were close to Regionals, left for places with more of a Comp Training environment.
Of course, however, your programming is what you make of it and going elsewhere won’t overcome a lack of effort.
