Debating The Use Of Growth Hormone On Deficient Adults
An article on prnewswire.com stated that at the 13th Annual International Congress on Anti-aging Medicine, a lecture was presented on the legal issues surrounding using human growth hormone:

"The commentary suggests that the replacement of human growth hormone indeficient, aging adults is illegal because of a little-known federal law," said Mr. Collins, a legal authority on anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing hormones. "But the suggestion overlooks the historical context and intent of that law."

Mr. Collins went on to say that the use of steroids became a controlled substance in 1990 after a few athletes tested positive, however human growth hormone can be prescribed in medical situations.
