Since writing this, I ran a search on google and found this article on about.com: http://bodybuilding.about.com/od/bodybuildingfaq/f/stuntgrowth.htm and frankly I think it does a great job of dispelling the myth.

However, if you have already reached your genetic potential for growth, and your growth plates have closed off then your growth hormone will not effect them. That is just my theory tho, becuase I started lifting during childhood and I am only 5' 7" now at the age of 20, but my mom is 5' 2" and my dad is 5' 11" so it seems genetically reasonable to me. I think lazy people say it stunts growth, because they want an excuse for not exercising.
