Stallone, HGH, & the UFC

From Zach Arnold of FightOpinion.com

On Wednesday’s Spike TV telecast of an Ultimate Fight Night live event from The Palms in Las Vegas, NV, Joe Rogan did a promo spot with Sylvester Stallone to promote the latest Rambo movie release. It was quite the interview.

Stallone was busted in Australia for bringing vials of growth hormone in 2007. Today, Stallone was quick to defend his use of growth hormone. Also, Stallone told the press that he uses prescription testosterone, but doesn’t take steroids.

Testosterone is the base chemical for anabolic steroids.

The last 12 months for UFC has been quite an adventure in terms of fighters failing steroid tests. Dana White’s aggressive support for Sean Sherk in the media, combined with media spots (such as this advertising spot on the UFC web page) with a testosterone & GH user like Sylvester Stallone, have created an interesting PR situation for the company.
