I don't see that it's fair that we judge some can use a substance others can't.
And of those some who can some will get more benefit than others.

The person has an illness or injury. They are disadvantaged because of an illness or injury.

They're not necking a load of 'roids to build muscle fast or EPO to gain red blood cells they wouldn't have already had, they're taking a substance that might've saved their lives or otherwise kept them out of hospital so they can do their job.

But you accept people have different severities of conditions and that people will respond differently?
Presumably you also accept that some once receiving treatment will have greater ability than those without a condition?

So I still don't see how that is fair.
