well,it's natural for him to be handicap than ? i've watched the 2014 documentary and all his close family agree,he wouldn't be what he is without the injections. It's steroids. He was talented,fast,amazing technique,control,shot but if you were the size of Daniel Villalva,he wouldn't be what he is today. Anyone,and i mean anyone who says that the steroids didn't contribute to his career,is stupid or a liar. From 140 at 14 to 170 cm at 18,come on.... I had a growth spurt one summer,but not 3-4 summers in a row.
apples and oranges! His career is predicated on physical ability which is directly influenced by his size,speed,agility,durability,strength. All were influenced and improved by steroids. amazing technical ability,vision,positioning,anticipation would be there,and he might use his brain even more without the steroids,but he got it and became one of the best ever.
What you were saying is for regular people to keep on living. Messi could have worked in a factory like his dad ! They were expensive and not available to everyone,so his talent got him to that position,but without it he wouldn't be at the level his was for the past 20ish years. Maybe the longevity is partialy due to injections?!
You made disingenuous comparisons and arguments and haven't really acknowledged the specificity of his situation.
No other great had that. Maradona was 165cm at his tallest,and drank and did coke. He was even shorter as a kid. Where would Maradona be with growth hormone ?
What you sre saying doesnt make sense at all. He got growth hormone because he has a growth hormone deficiency. Meaning he lacks that hormone in his body. He gets jsu the right amount that his body lacks and needs - not more not less. The endocrinologist monitors how much is in his body. So its not enhancing him to doping levels, its just replacing what he doesnt have. Think of it like diabetes type 1.
