A FORMER professional bodybuilder has been fined $5000 for illegally importing pharmaceutical drugs including Valium into Australia.
French national Francis Benafatto, 47, today pleaded guilty in a Brisbane Magistrates Court to importing prohibited imports and making a false declaration to customs after he was caught with an array of medications on March 4, 2006.
Customs officials examined Mr Benafatto when he arrived at Perth International Airport en-route to Brisbane to attend a body-building tournament on the Gold Coast.
The officials found 11 Ritalin tablets in his luggage, and another four inside his socks he was wearing.
Further searching garnered another 18 Ritalin tablets, 926 Diazepam (Valium) tablets and 22 Noxiderm tablets in numerous containers.
An Australian Customs Service spokesman said the tablets were prohibited without a permit.

However, he couldn't say whether the drugs were to be used for performance or image enhancing.
Customs Western Australia regional director Paul O'Connor said the fine was a reminder to declare all medications when entering Australia.
