Long Cycles for Contest?

question on pregara cycles

sorry for a question because I have never competed and I have never done any steroid cycling, but for a fact of culture I ask;

usually those who make steroid cycles usually 8-12 weeks maximum + pct + rest;

the question is-_
but who has to do a race and I wanted to ask you this;
the last 6-8 months, are they always under cycle?
that is, whoever has to do a race, does very long cycles

it works like this,
I do not know how to ask to learn

thank you
