Stallone arrested for HGH
 

Sylvester Stallone charged with importing human growth hormone into Australia

SYDNEY, Australia - Sylvester Stallone faces stiff fines after trying to take vials of a muscle-building hormone into Australia, where it is restricted.

Lawyers for Stallone, the 60-year-old star of the "Rocky" and "Rambo" movie franchises, represented him in a Sydney court on Tuesday where he faces one charge of importing a banned substance.

Stallone and his entourage were stopped at Sydney airport and kept for several hours Feb. 16 as he arrived for a promotional visit, while customs officials searched bags and confiscated items. His hotel room was searched and more items confiscated three days later.

Stallone and his group were allowed to leave Australia and he was not compelled to appear in the Sydney Local Court for Tuesday's hearing.

Human Growth Hormone is officially considered a performance-enhancing drug in Australia and it cannot be imported without a permit from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

The maximum penalty for bringing it into Australia illegally is a fine worth C$100,000 and five years in prison. Stallone is unlikely to face the maximum penalty.

The case was adjourned until April 24, when Stallone's lawyers will be asked to enter a plea on his behalf.

Sly, people get old. Deal with it. You're lucky if you do get old. The only other alternative is to get dead. You're 61 years old. No matter how much HGH you take, you'll never look like you did when you were 35 or 40.

eh, yo, I gotta go out the ay I gotta go out.

yeah but that hgh made it possible for him to be in the shape he has to be in to make rocky balboa and the upcoming rambo and also made him in better shape than people half his age

Why are you posting "news" from 2 months ago?

I wish I had some HGH :(

I have to say that I'm disappointed, but not surprised. -ohbfrank-

yeah, I think this is old (unless it happened again to him in Australia)

I guess he isn't THE LAW!!!

Wow! HGH!

Man, they should throw the book at him! After all, HGH is so much worse than like...I dunno, say things like cocaine and heroin.

-rolleyes-

From the top of the article:
I don't see what the big deal is, regardless.

no no, you see, it's not old. It's just that in Australia time it's actually still March 12. It's complicated and has to do with time difference is all.

You forget Jack, Australia is actually in the future. Wait until you guys get these flying cars and jet packs!

Why else would they need John Spartan?

Maybe Stallone wanted to "grow" as an actor... and elevator shoes can only get you so far.

Exactly, people do not want to see an old Rambo or Rocky, he is 60, there is no way he could get back physically for those roles without it. And he should have just came out and said as much no one would have cared.
