Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone, who starred in the successful Rambo and Rocky series, is under controversy clouds now. Stallone, on his 16th Feb 2007 trip to Australia was alleged of carrying drugs which are prohibited in Australia. The Deputy Magistrate of The New South Wales state, Paul Cloran, declared that Stallone failed to produce valid prescription for the vials of human growth hormone. Earlier, he failed to declare the same male hormone testosterone in the customs entry form in spite of having a valid prescription.
Cloran imposed a fine of 2,500 USD on Stallone for the 48 unannounced vials of Jintropin carried in without proper authorization. Stallone in total had to pay $9,780 for fine and court proceedings.
When asked about the incident, Sylvester Stallone said:
It was just a minor misunderstanding. They were just doing their jobs. I just didn’t understand some of the rules here.
