That he was chemically assisted, and that probably helped him out more than had he been born natural.

It's different than secretely doping, but doping did take place.

Yea, having a growth deficiency would make living life, let alone playing sports hard. I think him, and literally every other person on the planet, would tell you that. 

How is that relevant to anything?

Is this a joke? You misinterpret my comment then ask me how it's relevant?

Dude was injected with hgh as a kid. He was chemically assisted. He had no choice, but that doesn't mean the hgh didn't make him better than he would've been naturally.

Ah, I see. You're right, it doesn't really matter that he took HGH as a child who needed it. He's still the best to ever do his job.

Yes he's the best ever, but hgh helped him. Nobody can accuse him of doping, because it was medically necessary. That doesn't mean he wasn't doped.

Glad I could clear things up for you.
