A U.S. physician who prescribed HGH for anything other than a legitimate endocrine disorder would be vulnerable. It would likely be a matter handled by state medical boards.
I’m just curious, when did HGH go to prescription only. I remember like 10 years ago Art Bell was hawking it on his radio show-—is that the same thing?
I think that's exactly right, unless this was only part of a wider criminal conspiracy - money laundering, tax evasion and the like.
Galea is in hot water because he's a Canadian doc, with no privileges in the US and had allegedly transported substantial quantities across the border. He's in about as much trouble as you can be in for distributing a hormone without a prescription.
