Lionel Messi, the best Soccer player in the World has been on HGH treatment since his childhood

And most high school kids have been on ADHD medications for years to help them concentrate and get into top colleges. What's your point?

I don't think he is still taking HGH. It is well known that Barca payed for his HGH treatments. Those were not because of hormone deficiency but because he was simply too short. So they started giving him HGH around age 13 and he became slightly taller.

No news here, everyone in Spain dopes.

soccerguy21, that is idiotic. messi was known to have growth issues due to hormone deficiency before he ever made it to europe. anyway, maybe he would have only been the size of maradonna. wouldn't matter, messi would still be the best in the world (by a long shot). renaldo ain't even close.

My point is about the results of Messi's biological profile.

For sure, that blood test could show grotesque changes between ages 10 to 17, or maybe 18. He's 25 now.

But once they take the test and the results show such abnormalities, it could be a "no punished" positive?

Maradona was a 5'4 player with above average leg power and strength...Messi is listed as 5'7.

Nevertheless, both players are unstoppable only with the insane ball control and offensive skills.

And as we all know, Diego was high on coke for his entire pro career. Without cocaine, Maradona could have been 3 times better than Pele.

Curiously, Maradona trained with Ben Johnson in 1997.

Comparing a cheater like Maradona to Pele is an insult to Pele's legacy.

You don't know too much about Soccer, don't you?

Maradona played in a second-tier team in Europe. And he won Italian Championships and European Championships with that mediocre Napoli team.

Maradona played with a below average Argentina National Team in the 80's and 90's. And he won 1 WC and made another final (robbed by that Mexican referee). Mexico 1986 was the best all time individual performance by a single player. He demolished the likes of Italy, England and Germany...and he looked like a fvcking god in the field)

Pele never played in Europe. And Pele played with arguably the best all time NT. (Brazil 70')

Pele played with superstars like Garrincha, Didi, Rivelinho, Vava, Djalma Santos, Jairzinho, etc.

Maradona played with a bunch of almost nobodies...and made look that average players much, much better.

Oh, by the way...People officialy voted "the best player of the century"...and guess what? Maradona beat Pele.

Comparison Maradona-Pele is similar with the Michael Jordan-Bill Russell head-to-head legacies.

Wow!

Nice.
