Lionel Messi - The Facts
Messi is a fraud. He used HGH (human growth hormone) to get where he is today. He was injected with various forms since childhood.
From Wikipedia, regarding it being banned: Athletes in many sports have used human growth hormone in order to attempt to enhance their athletic performance. . Many athletic societies ban the use of GH and will issue sanctions against athletes who are caught using it. In the United States, GH is legally available only by prescription from a medical doctor.

5 other reasons why Messi is not the GOAT...
.Messi is a one footed player and it hinders his play. His right foot is nowhere near up to par with his left, and it has led him to take some poor shots and sometimes causes him to lose the ball.
. Never played outside of La Liga. La Liga suits his style of play down to the ground. Would his 5"6 body be able to cope in a more physical league?
.Messi is the benefactor of playing with the world's best center midfielders dishing him the ball. FC Barcelona studs, Xavi and Andres Iniesta, are hands down two of the best center midfielders in the world. They may even be the best and proved that while winning the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
.Messi is privileged to play in front of these two players and most of his goals benefit from their passes. We may never know who makes who look better or if Messi could do it without them. We do, however, know that Messi probably could not put up the goal numbers by himself.
.If you're the best player in the world, you should be able to take over the game and will your team to victory. This comes down to not having the World's best midfield feeding him.
Dutch legend Ruud Gullit's take on the situation; "Ronaldo deserves to get the trophy of World’s Best Player.
“He deserves it more than Messi and he does not deserve to be humiliated by FIFA and the organisers in the room where he keeps having to turn up and watch live how Messi scoops the award in front of him."
