> Jan. 25, 2008, 6:36 PM EST
> Sylvester Stallone says he used human growth hormone to get buff for
the new "Rambo" movie, and defends its use.
>
> "HGH (human growth hormone) is nothing," the 61-year-old actor tells
Time magazine in its Feb. 4 issue. "Anyone who calls it a steroid is
grossly misinformed."
>
> Because it is nearly indetectable, HGH has become a substance of
great concern in major league baseball and other sports battling
allegations of rampant doping.
>
> "Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when
you get older," he says. "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 directed and co-wrote the new "Rambo" sequel, which arrived
in theaters Wednesday.
