Same thing would be someone who had heart problems taking a drug, and still being able to play.
If he took a shot for meningitis, or polio, is that any different?

I can't recall suggesting he abused drugs or claiming they were to improve performance, however there is also nothing to suggest they do or don't improve his performance. The point also still remains, without the funding of Barcelona for the use of steroids, Lionel Messi would never have played Football.
Note the effects of the steroids used to treat Lionel Messi.
The first three ‘benefits’ to HGH; “Increases Energy and Endurance, Improves Sports Performance and Recovery,
Increases Bone Density and Reduces Osteoporosis”. In short, run faster, play better, have stronger bones. Bold being the reason for them in the Messi case but no comments on the other benefits of it.
