Just moments ago, Sylvester Stallone was officially charged with illegally importing performance and image enhancing drugs in a Sydney courtroom, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
According to Australian authorities, the 60-year-old action star, who did not appear in court, was caught at Sydney Airport with several vials of a steroid known as hGH (human growth hormone), during a random baggage check. Customs officials claim they found a total of 48 vials of the steroid after they raided Stallone's Sydney hotel room, limousine and private jet.
Stallone will be required to enter a plea on April 24. If found guilty, he faces a maximum fine of $22,000 American.
According to steroid.com, "Bodybuilders may illicitly self-administer hGH to improve size and strength, usually by subcutaneous injection into the lower abdomen." HGH has also "become a popular but expensive medication prescribed in anti-aging therapies."
Stallone was visiting Australia in February to promote his latest film "Rocky Balboa. Calls to Sly's rep were not immediately returned.

Does beer count as an "image enhancing drug"?

Dumbass media! ::) HgH is not a "steroid". It isn't a steroid chemically, and in the US at least, it isn't a steroid legally (it's a mere "prescription drug", not scheduled as a steroid).
What's next, "Authorities Seize 2 lbs. of Creatine, a steroid known for making bodybuilders hyooooooge"? ::)
As an aside, at 60 yrs old, Sly could easily get a script for HGH. Why didn't he have one?

"Image enhancing drugs..." well that means botox, donuts and every weight gainer/weight loss product on the market should be illegal.

If Sly had been caught brining in a revolutionary training-enhancement supplement like Gakic, he'd probably be facing mandatory life-without-parole. :(

Hard to believe someone of "Sly's" integrity would do this. Shocking. Especially after all the getbig fawning a few months ago about being "60 years young" i was sure he was natural. ::)
What will happen to all of Bluto's posters?

Couple of things, why was he carrying it I would think he would have people for that. Second where was the script, why with his money and age would he not be legally taking it.

Did you honestly need something like this to happen to have proof that stallone takes drugs?

Stallone's last movie is the only one where he looks around 200lbs. I think he upped the dosage later in his life.
It's laughable that he plays a heavyweight in the other movies. He's probably 175lbs in the earlier Rocky movies, but leaner.
