Sly Stallone Admits to Illegal Drug Possession!

Famed "Rocky" star Sly Stallone tried his best to pump up the people down under when he was caught smuggling 48 vials of human growth hormone into Australia on a promotional trip tour for his latest movie "Rocky Balboa". He hit the courtroom Tuesday to plead guilty and try to put the past behind him.

Sly Stallone was first noticed as "Rocky Balboa" in the 1976 film "Rocky". After the previously final film in the "Rocky" series released in 2000 it was thought, the era of "Rocky Balboa" was over and fans were sad. However, in 2006 "Rocky Balboa" the film was released and Sly Stallone was forced to regain the muscle and physical stamina characteristic of the "Rocky" we all knew and loved.

On February 16, Sly Stallone entered Australia via the Sydney International Airport. A questionnaire filled out by Stallone noted he was not carrying any medications or illicit drugs into the country. What Sly did not know is the Human Growth Hormone he was carrying in his luggage was illegal in Australia unless the Therapeutic Goods Administration issues a permit. The Therapeutic Goods Administration is a drug-relating organization. After having his luggage searched, authorities found 48 vials of HGH.

It is also believed that after being notified of a possible room search, Sly Stallone supposedly threw four bottles of tester one out the window to avoid being found with this second illegal substance. Stallone claimed the testosterone was in plain view in his bag when the original search took place, but inspecting authorities denied they ever found the product.

Sly Stallone admitted to traveling with the illegal drugs but swore, "It was just a minor misunderstanding." Stallone went on to claim, the drugs were "not dangerous" and that he had been "[taking] them for years".

While Stallone pled ignorance to the arresting officers claiming, "I just didn't understand some of the rules here," he was forced with the reality of an $18,000 fine for each vial of the HGH.
