NEW YORK - Sylvester Stallone says he used human growth hormone to get buff for the new "Rambo" movie, and defends its use.

"HGH (human growth hormone) is nothing," the 61-year-old actor tells Time magazine in its Feb. 4 issue. "Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed."

Because it is nearly undetectable, HGH has become a substance of great concern in major league baseball and other sports battling allegations of rampant doping.

"Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older," he says. "Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases the quality of your life. Mark my words. In 10 years it will be over the counter."

Stallone directed and co-wrote the new "Rambo" movie, which arrived in theaters Friday.

I love how they compare gh to steroid

This is what our culture needs. A celebrity who is informed and speaking out about the positive effects of HGH and test. Just an FYI, Stallone is a Conservative..........

Stallone is campaigning for John McCain, which is odd because John McCain is way anti steroid. He was involved in the banning of prohormones and is cosponsor of a bill to ban DHEA. Maybe nobody told Stallone.

Yes that would be a down side to McCain other then the fact that hes a warmongering deluded lunatic who has no idea what hes talking about...

[Kärnfysikern]
