Stallone may make roid chic!
Just as Congressional investigators on Capitol Hill are cranking up preparations for a hearing to dramatize the evils of steroid use by Major League baseball stars, Sylvester Stallone says he used another performance enhancer, human growth hormone (HGH), to get in muscle-rippling shape for his latest “Rambo” movie.
What’s more, the 61-year-old actor is an unapologetic advocate of chemistry as a comfort to the aging male. Read all about it
“Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older,” Stallone tells Time magazine in its February 4 issue. “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 says he gained 41 pounds to play the famously-muscled Rambo by using prescription testosterone.
This revelation comes as Congressional aides are preparing for a high-profile face-off, under oath, between pitching ace Roger Clemens, who says he has never used steroids, and his former trainer, who claims he injected The Rocket with performance-enhancing substances. The hearing is currently set for February 13.
While admitting the steroid matter is not a crucial legislative issue, Congressional spokesmen have defended the investigation as a way to discourage young people from taking up steroid use.
Now comes Stallone, upstaging the upcoming hearing by disclosing that Rambo developed those muscles through chemistry. Which could, despite the Congressional hearings, persuade many young athletes to get buff through HGH—and might also touch off a new wave of substance abuse among the Viagra generation
