All warfare is based on deception.
Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

According to the link you sent, it was 30 positive cases in 1000 students. So not 60% however, amongst active duty US SOF post selection, there is a very significant amount of steroid and PED use especially the Rangers and SEALs, not so much amongst GBs.
It is also very unlikely that they will implement tests for serving SOF. Too expensive and decreases their short-term capability.

There are multiple articles with various estimates of usage across the testing phases.

As counter-intuitive as it may seem, the black with the woodland pattern blends in quite alright in forested areas. There are dark, black undertones in the terrain with rocks and areas where lighting isn't optimal. After all, all these years, special forces have been operating wearing black boots and nobody has ever had a situation where the black boots or piece of clothing gave them away.

Also keep in mind that over 95% of the SSG missions are night-time as that is the mode of operation for most special forces around the world. A black or khaki load bearing vest makes no practical difference.

We have seen SSG wearing T-shirts with no vest or no helmets in Operations, we have seen them with black vest in broad day light, plus vest is not as small as boots which could be hard to see from distance. The color of the uniformed doesn't match with their gear or vest, no SF in the world does that, at least no top SF.
