It's been a rocky visit to the land Down Under for Sylvester Stallone.
Since arriving in Sydney to promote the Australian opening of "Rocky Balboa," the actor has been tussling with local authorities over what is reported to be banned bodybuilding substances.
On Monday, officials searched his hotel room and private jet for illegal substances, just three days after seizing banned substances frm he and his entourage, according to Australian media reports.
The trouble began Friday night, when Stallone and his traveling companions were stopped by customs officials after a routine X-ray detected something amiss. The group was detained for several hours, causing them to miss the premiere, for packing what was believed to be a type of human growth hormone.
No charges have been filed. Stallone has referred to the incident as a "misunderstanding." |
