And in any case, as an athlete your IV and personality are fixed, no amount of drugging will change that (except maybe the latter but not for your convenience).
In the games you are a pokémon TRAINER. That's hard to compare to reality. If you just catch wild pokémon until you find the one you need, it would be akin to a coach or selector cycling through athetes until they find the best one. If you're breeding and someone else is hacking, well, the former is performing eugenics with several generations of athletes to their own convenience and the latter is genetically modifying embryos, I don't think either would be legal (although I have an opinion about which one would be more ethical). And for the former, the coach's lifespan would have to be several times longer than that of a regular human to achieve the same results as in pokémon.
Performance-enhancing drugs with the effects we get in the real world have two pokémon paralels: EV-increasing drugs (although by their name and bottles they're more like over-the-counter supplements) and "X stat" items, which the game itself will prevent you from using in any competitive battle.
If anyone cheated their way to use the latter (without spending turns to boot) and thus push their stats through the natural limit, they would be deservingly disqualified.
Cheating to skip a meaningless time sink doesn't have any negative real world paralel.
