Morphology

juiced = juice (opaque) = juice + ed

Although built from 'juice' + '-ed', the sense 'on steroids' is an idiomatic slang extension that is not predictable from the literal meaning.

Etymology

Juiced in sports slang grew from juice used for a strong liquid that gives extra 'power' or strength. So if an athlete is 'juiced', it means they have taken drugs to boost performance.
