Actor Sylvester Stallone has been charged in Australia with illegally importing 48 vials of a hormone growth drug into Australia. He didn't declare the drug on his Customs form. Later, his hotel room and private jet were searched.

Stallone says,

It was just a minor misunderstanding. They were just doing their jobs. I just didn't understand some of the rules here."

      Personally, I think that with full disclosure of the risks and informed consent docs should be allowed to prescribe HGH for aging movie stars desperate for a fountain of youth wonder drug.

      But, doesn't he know enough rock stars to know that you pay a lackey to carry and hold the stash?

    my main man peacrevol is joking....a George Jung reference from the movie "Blow" if I'm not mistaken.

    It's a great scene where Jung goes on a diatribe in front of the judge before getting sentenced.

    The actor is thought to now be in Thailand, where he is making his fourth Rambo film.
    The odds of him showing up in court in Oz in person are pretty small until after the shoot wraps.

    Is he just going back through his cycle of old crappy movie remakes? What's next? Stop or My Mom Will Shoot 2? Prepare the box offices for widescreen poop.

    isn't stallone a little old to be taking that kind of medicine?

    maybe it was his pheromones

    the aussies were upset about.

    then again,

    maybe stallone has a movie in mind featuring a REALLY big boxing kangaroo.

      is being touted as an anti-aging treatment in addition to its sports performance enhancement uses.

      In fact, the steelers dosctor who was identified as having purchased $150k worth of the stuff claimes he was obtaining it for his elderly patients and not for any football players.
