Sylvester Stallone Pleads Guilty to Growth Drugs Charge

Sylvester Stallone pleaded guilty Tuesday May 8th to bringing vials of banned human growth hormone into Australia during a trip to promote his new film, "Rocky Balboa."

The actor's lawyers, entered the plea before Sydney's Darling Center Local Court on behalf of Stallone, explained that Stallone admitted to two charges of possessing the body-building drugs in his luggage when he arrived at Sydney airport from the United States on February 16th.

The maximum fine for the offence is 110,000 dollars (91,600 US dollars), but Stallone faces a top penalty of just 22,000 dollars because the charge is being dealt with in a local court.
