Yes, generally, but at a certain point, the amount of energy gained from sheer muscle is unfortunately negated by the amount of drag from the muscle's additional volume. That's why most swimmers are relatively lean, with good core muscles.

I'm talking more of a speed type substance, not muscle gain.

I'm not sure if they allow actually illegal substances in the Enhanced Games, though

Yeah, an energy boosting substance should be more apt for quick sprints. Again, as I mentioned above, most of the "enhanced" athletes are coming back from retirement - giving 120% from a degraded muscle can (and here, did) give less of a payback than giving 100% from a muscle in its prime.
