The parent comment made a very clear point about a sportsman not following a vegan diet needing much less supplements, and relying on natural protein in their diet. Steroid use seem pretty much unrelated.

My point was that there are plenty of non vegans that utilize significant amounts supplementary protein, the use of which is not a sign of an inferior dietary pattern, and there’s no evidence that protein supplements are inferior to natural sources for sports performance. Further, the best athletes rely on unnatural supplements, ie steroids. The whole discussion around natural vs unnatural is no more than an alluring narrative, not a factual point.
