Steroids, Sylvester Stallone, and Jintropin
This is hardly surprising for people in the fitness community, but People is reporting that Sylvester Stallone was busted with steroids.
Prosecutors in Australia alleged during a March 13 hearing that Sylvester Stallone – who was detained by customs officials at Sydney Airport last month – brought 48 vials of Jintropin (a.k.a. human growth hormone), a banned muscle-building hormone, into the country.
If charged and convicted, Stallone could face a $17,000 fine and five years in prison.
A rep for Stallone declined to comment; his lawyers will be asked to enter a plea on April 24.

Ummm… hGH is not illegal and it isn’t a ‘muscle building’ protein in any way… it’s a growth hormone… it just makes you taller.
