Stallone and His Muscle-Building Hormones

Yep, I was just as shocked as you.

As it turns out, Sylvester Stallone isn't a natural bodybuilder. He pleaded guilty to taking Human Growth Hormone (HGH) into Australia. Later it seems, he tossed some testosterone vials out of his hotel room.

Say it aint so, Sylvester

I don't have a problem with a movie star (or anyone else) choosing to use hormones in an effort to better themselves. It isn't like he is cheating his way to any sacred sporting records.

My problem with Stallone is his Instone Nutrition company. Stallone peddles dietary supplements here, wanting you to believe that it is these supplements that are responsible for the 60 yr. old who could kick the crap out of the average 20 yr. old.

In the marketing, Stallone's very own testosterone level tests are used as an example of the amazing power of his supplements. Conveniently left out of the marketing is...
"Oh yeah, Sylvester had several injections between tests as well as taking Forza-T."

Its just a bit ugly.

ah-ha! I could say I'm a bit shocked but someway, I kind of knew it!
Maybe he's not cheating his fans (pretty sure they would be VERY disappointed) BUT if he's marketing supplements and stating that his supplements are responsible for his physique then that's bad marketing and someone should do something about it! Thanks for the valuable info and sad news JP.
