Stallone carried drugs?

When "Rocky Balboa" - Sylvester Stallone, arrived in Australia for the promotion of his latest movie Rocky Balboa, he would have had little idea about what lay in store!

After touching down at Sydney International Airport at 10:10 p.m. he was detained by the custom officials and left well after midnight. He was held up for possessing some human growth hormones in his luggage. These items were detected during a routine X-ray of luggage. It was rumored that Stallone may have been carrying bodybuilding drugs, banned in Australia. (Customs are still carrying out tests to ascertain the composition of the substance)

Later the luxury hotel room and the private jet of the actor was also raided by Custom officials even as members of his entourage were seen throwing items out of the window!



However Stallone said all the drama was the result of a misunderstanding.

"I do know (why I was stopped) but I can't tell you " he said. "To (Customs) it's major, but it's really minor stuff. I just made a mistake ... I misunderstood a few things and we are going through the process.''


When asked on the red carpet what was in his luggage, he joked, "My wife."
