Currently the world's most famous athlete, Lionel Messi, is legally permitted to take HGH, one of the most potent steroids ever made, due to an earlier growth deficiency. Johann Cruyff, also considered one of the football greats, went through the same legal HGH treatments.
Their acceleration and injury tolerance is mind blowing. See how Messi blew past 6 players in a cup final last week after playing 50+ games:

And also here's Johann Cruyff blowing past players with ease:

The popularity of these two players would indicate that athletes legally permitted to use steroids would be very popular among sports fans
- TillE 11y agoLionel Messi is not generally considered a great athlete, with exceptional strength or stamina or anything like that which would be affected by PEDs. His ability is pure skill and intelligence. Cruijff was similar.
- dylanjermiah 11y agoI'd classify an athlete with great skill and intelligence to be a great athlete.
- josefresco 11y agoIn Messi's case this is exactly why it's the supreme advantage. He already possess world class skill and intelligence, add HGH to the mix to boost his athleticism and you have a balanced, top tier athlete.
- CrackpotGonzo 11y agoCompletely disagree. Explosive acceleration, strength on the ball and ability to endure an entire season without being subbed off are all indicative of being a "great athlete".
- dylanjermiah 11y agoNot to be pedantic but HGH isn't a steroid, it's a peptide. On topic, a lot of athletes get legal prescription for TRT (testosterone replacement therapy), and in several sports the legal application is perfectly fine.
- dragandj 11y agoI did not know about his license to take steroids - if this is true, it moves him from my "admire" category to "fu*cking bastards" category.
