It is about role modeling. So many of us believed that Stallone got his shape through hard work and perhaps genes.
With comments like those posted showing that exogenous drug use is to be praised or condoned, performance enhancement through drug usage is going to be attempted at a far greater rate.
It will not directly extend lives, but instead the side effects might diminish it. HGH is insufficient in dwarves, and was developed to allow those born with such problems to be able to live more normal lives.
No argument I give could be of final consequence, due to the use by the majority of modern humans of varous substances which affect neurotransmitters and neuromodulators.
It is up to you to find out how your cognition and emotion, and even your physical capacities, can be affected by living more naturally.
Sadly this won't happen, especially with every role model using artificial means to attain their status.

holy god!! does hGH really make your head that monsterous and your face that hideous? if you need to continue acting try acting your age sly (but i guess he really wasn't a good actor)

tom, stamford,

I don't care if he blows his body into pieces, however, kids look to him as a role model.He should step forward immediately and renounce drug use of any kind and not work the innocent routine.He is 60 years old and can do what he wants with his own body until he is an influence on others.

HGH is a youth formula and although it’s true that it is a form of steroid. He’s at about the age that most would start to use it and if done correctly he would not suffer from any of the assumed side affects. Nobody should have the right to say he can’t do what he wants to his body at this point since its probably beneficial to his overall health.

if stallone or anyone else for that matter wants to use HGH they should be allowed to do so. I would reccomend that mr. stallone next time try using FedEx or UPS world wide shipping services to transport his HGH and also i'd check on the country i was visiting to see what their drug policies are before entering with HGH...
HGH administered in the right dses and time tables is (according to doctors, scientists and chemists) a safe and good alternative to seeking the fountain of youth.
Naturally, there are always cases that make HGH seem like a monster drug and when some teenage football player gets his hands on the stuff and unfortunately overuses it and dies the world goes crazy and blames the HGH instead of the user..We should try looking at the archer and not the arrow for soloutions and continued education....

Right on Rocky.....

Stallone on steroids? So that's how he beat the Russian! I've always wondered about that! Leave him alone Australia. It's not like he's breaking Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth's homerun records!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HGH is not illegal in the US.. Stallone did nothing wrong he must just not been aware of Australia's ban on HGH. You can buy it off of the internet at many Bodybuilding sites and it is legal.

Stallone is awesome and this was all probably a misunderstanding. If he had REALLY done something wrong they would've used the words "anabolic" or "steroids" somewhere in this article.. the did not because they couldn't

He is not hurting anybody and i am sure he is not abusing them. He just want to stay in shape ; is not like he is competing and cheating. If he is found guilty i believe agencies should conduct an inspection to all the sports stars using HGH; I am pretty sure there is many. They are competing and they are cheating. Or what about the guys that sale this stuff, this are the guys we need to go after.


PSP: Your fans are with you Mr stallone.

Luis M. Benitez, hinesville,

isnt it absurd to make illegal a substance that everyone has in their body anyway. Raising the level of HGH in your bloodstream can make me feel, and look healthier. Perhaps it can even extend my life. Why should it be denied me? Because some might abuse it? that is absurd. Why not ban automobiles since they are used to drunk drive, and used as getaway vehicles after bank robberies.

Give him a break. He needs a big wrist to sport those Panerai watches he wears.

Like most countries, Oceania doesn't like to tell tourists the rules before you go there. And they don't X-ray baggage. They open everything and go through it with a fine toothed combed. The Media is so lucky that most people don't know this. Congratulations to them and to Autstralian customs for caging a tiger. Well done. You're so powerful and scary.

Mike Hnatusko, Chicago,

I always liked Stallone but, now I see he's a liar and has been all along. Most people with bodies like that had to have some help. As a matter of fact I would say most if not all body builders use steriods and growth hormornes. God just doesn't bless everyone with the genetics of a great muscular physique. I'd bet his ole man never looked that built up. I see nothing wrong using the stuff if that's what you want to do but, don't lie about the fact your body has had some help!

I am a uganda and just watched Stallone's latest movie Rocky Balboa,wow! it is wonderful.it teaches me to have will and that skill never dies
