Morphology

doped = dope (transparent) = dope + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival use of 'dope' meaning 'to give drugs', so 'doped' meaning 'under the influence of drugs' is directly derived.

Etymology

Doped (under the influence of drugs) comes from the same idea of adding a substance, because dope once meant a strong sauce or drug that could be mixed into food or drink. So someone who is doped has had a drug 'put into' them and is made slow or confused.
