Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone has submitted medical documents to Australia’s custom department after being charged for importing 48 vials of banned human growth hormone.
Stallone’s attorney John Chicken represented him in the Sydney court for the brief hearing. The case has been adjourned until May 15 to allow customs to study Stallone’s medical documents the details of which were not revealed in the court. Chicken said that the matter would soon be finalized.
The Australian Customs Service had charged Stallone and detained him on the airport for importing a prohibited import on February 16. Customs revealed that 48 vials of prohibited human growth hormone found in his luggage could result in a fine of US$91,600.
Stallone was on a three day visit to Australia to promote his new film, Rocky Balboa and he left for Thailand on Feb 19 to shoot his latest Rambo movie.
