Asking in general not that there would be any incentives as they’re not competing now. But is it basically a free for all now a days?

why wouldn't this be true at all other times? mostly, an athlete's time is spent NOT racing.

There will certainly be no testing right now.

yes, with a sustained period of no chance of being tested there is the potential to take liberties. i think though that most drugs serve more to enhance your work capacity than in and of themselves deliver benefits so for many who are not really able to train the benefit may not be there. of course that just furthers the already uneven playing field - some can train on juice whereas others are unable to train at all.
hopefully the juice supply chain has been disrupted by covid so not an option

If ibuprofen can supercharge/mutate Covid 19, I wonder what actual steroids would do.
I’m not a scientist, but seems like a particularly stupid time to disrupt your physiology.

Do you think most dopers care about what they are doing to their bodies? They just want to do anything they can to get an edge/go faster.

Generally this is true, except that if you're dead, you're not going to be going faster ...

We were kind of discussing this at work this morning. We are a defense contractor so we are running full tilt in an otherwise shuttered area. We all come to work, bring our lunch, go straight home, and stay there until the next morning. Lots of disposable income.
I made the comment that it was time for "hookers and blow" and someone commented that the random drug tests are probably a thing of the past for the next few months.

Somehow I really doubt your comment triggered thoughts among your coworkers of using drugs to fuel a competitive edge in athletics...just sayin'...

a few weeks ago UKAD actually made a public announcement notifying their athletes that they will not be doing any random testing, basically letting them know they were free to do whatever they wanted.

That would imply permission. They don't.

With everything else going on I don't really care much. I think the poachers with be super active this spring too.

Defense contractors are randomly drug tested weekly.

No allegedly here. They show up with a list of SSNs and you have to go. They get the results while you are washing your hands.
