2019/2020 UEFA Champions League - Round of 16 Draw

The growth promoters didn’t hurt.

He got HGH.

I’m sure that’s a very pleasant experience and not adverse in any way for a child

It’s a steroid.

Imagine what someone like Aiden McGeady could have been if he had been pumped full of HGH in his formative years.

His parents didn’t seem to mind much

Wonder would McGeady have settled at Barca or Real?

He wasn’t pumped to the eyeballs with angel dust so we’ll never know

Do growth hormones improve skill, vision and passing? -

Plenty of players have skill, vision and passing who never make it due to their lack of physical and athletic qualities.

He had a deficiency guys, its estimated he’d have been 4 foot 11 without the treatment. It was a medical treatment, prescribed by medical professionals. It cost 1,000s a month, his Dad couldn’t afford it. Newells couldn’t afford it.

He left Argentina as a child to go to a new country so they could pay his medical costs and fulfill his ambitions. He became one of the best there has ever been.

He plays for a nation that call him ā€œthe Spaniardā€ while expecting him to single handedly win them international competitions.

Wow so that makes it ok to dope?

Maybe Giovinco or Insigne should have got similar treatment?

Aiden McGeady is 5ft 11

He got treated for a medical condition

Lol.

Imagine the athletic and physical qualities he’d have if he was pumped full of HGH.

He got pumped full of steroids.

Difference being, he had a medical condition - the lads you’re on about couldnt make it because they were 5 ft 6/7/8" — Messi was still left a short arse … he wasnt doping at the side of the street - it was medically over seen and discontinued before he was 18.

He’d still be shit.

Being a short arse isn’t a medical condition.

He was pumped full of steroids by Barcelona because he had footballing ability. I don’t think every talented footballer should be pumped full of steroids to make them better.

Steroids are a common treatment for medical conditions
