Sly Stallone tried to smuggle 48 vials of restricted human growth hormones (steroids) to Sydney, Australia last month, but got caught red handed.

News.com.au reports:

The charge carries a possible penalty of $110,000, but Stallone will facea top fine of $22,000, the maximum a local court can impose.

The Chinese growth hormone Jintropin builds muscle, cuts body fat, improves skin tone and heightens sexual desire. But a leading Sydney endocrinologist warned how long-term users faced a series of side effects, including facial disfigurement, premature arthritis and sleep apnoea, as well as a shortened life expectancy.

“People can have an enlarged jaw, a big nose, a big tongue, your hands can become quite big,” said Ken Ho, head of endocrinology at St Vincent’s Hospital and the Pituitary Research Unit at the Garvan Institute.

Facial disfigurement… Yup, that’s Stallone. Unlike steroids, which comprise the male hormone testosterone, Jintropin does not result in shrinkage of genitalia. Well that’s the one and only good thing about this drug. Of course Stallone swears up and down he did nothing wrong but 48 vials is alot. It’s not like he had a bag of weed and claim it to be oregano for his pot roast he was going to cook that night. That would of been acceptable but no,he had 48 vials of liquid roids for his dinner.
