(PRWEB) March 16, 2013

As the controversy involving PEDs intensifies, especially with increased media exposure due to the recent disgrace of cyclist Lance Armstrong, misinformation and half-truths have become commonplace. Even the medical community itself has been caught up in the wake of this controversy, by mislabeling substances such as IGF-1, a cytokine, as a growth hormone. Stem Cell Orthopedics recognizes this misunderstanding as potentially dangerous, especially if these important repair enhancers become overly regulated or banned completely as a result of this widespread ignorance.
