Stallone sings praises of bodybuilder drugs

Sylvester Stallone has praised the banned bodybuilding substance human growth hormone (HGH), saying prescription testosterone “increases your quality of life”.

The 61-year-old action star was convicted in May 2007 for importing human growth hormone product Jintropin into Australia.

But he insists the substance – which is used by athletes and bodybuilders to grow muscle and is banned in professional and amateur sports - is “not a steroid”, and claims “everyone over 40” should try it.

He told Time magazine: “Human growth hormone helped me to get up to 209lbs for the new Rambo movie, which is 40lbs heavier than I was for the last one 20 years ago.

“Human growth hormone is nothing. Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed.

“Testosterone to me is important for a sense of well-being when you get older. Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases your quality of life.

“Mark my words, in 10 years it will be available over the counter.”

Stallone was arrested last year after 48 vials of Jintropin - which is banned under the Australian Customs Act - were found in his personal luggage at Sydney Airport.

In May, he pleaded guilty to two charges of possessing a controlled substance and was ordered to pay a £1267 ($2835) fine along with an estimated £4000 ($8950) court costs.

In a typed apology to the court, Stallone wrote: “I made a terrible mistake.

“I have never supported the use of illegal drugs or engaged in any illegal activities in my entire life. I wish to express my deepest remorse and again apologise for my actions.”

wow he was only 169 back then??

bump...its true, i cant wait to sample some of the good stuff....lol

its amazing even today with all the info we have available on the net how misinformed the joe public are about steroids etc. it can increase the quality of life for all sorts of different reasons, providing you pay attetion to research and stay safe, im all for it once you get to a certain age....

Sly is really short guys. Well under 5'-8"

Damn Stallone is 61 and is in way better shape than me. lol HGH is the shit

also lets remember he has an unlimited cash flow!

He can have the best trainers, chef's, diet experts Ect. at his call 24/7

So everyone plans his workouts, meals, Ect. He just has to show up and do it.
(wow thats a real tuff life)

Being motivated is half the battle, but when you have an unlimited number of people pushing you everyday, it makes it a hell of a lot easier to get into shape.

So us regular joe's have to plan our own workouts, plan our own diets, plan our own cycles, Ect. and hope we get it right.

So its alot easier when others (experts) are planning evey aspect of your training.
No guess work in that.
