A Billy Connolly joke: a man walks through the Olympic village with a big pole on his shoulder. An old lady asks him "are you a pole vaulter?". He replied "No, I'm German but how do you know my name's Volte?!"

Given the recent exposures of sky cycling team taking PEDs disguised as personal medication and also farah being mentioned in L-carnitine reports, I would think that pole vaulting is pretty much immune from such cheating. Or is it? I often wonder why so many professional athletes suffer from asthma and claim therapeutic use exception for medication.
