PMID: 20355224 Abstract: Professional Athletes\u2019 misuse of anabolic steroids, growth hormone and other drugs are the tip of a very large, mostly ignored iceberg, made up of people who receive these drugs for such non-medical uses as body-building, school sports and \u201canti-aging\u201d. Although these drugs are often used in combination, this article focuses on growth hormone. Fueling the demand for these drugs are drug manufacturers, pharmacies, websites, clinics and their doctors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18560007\">New developments in the illegal provision of growth hormone for \u201canti-aging\u201d and bodybuilding.<\/a>\u00a0Olshansky SJ, Perls TT.
