American actor Sylvester Stallone was summonsed to appear in a Sydney court today charged with importing a prohibited import aboard a commercial flight into Australia in February.
Stallone, 60, was issued with the court attendance notice to apear at Downing Local Court today, following a Customs service investigation into his alleged importation of performance and image enhancing drugs - namely 48 vials of human growth hormone.
His solicitor Robert Todd told magistrate David Heilpern that he was seeking an adjournment and wanted to gather more material.
If found guilty, Stallone faces a maximum fine of $22,000 in the local courts jurisdiction.
He came to the attention of authorities after a routine baggage search at Sydney Airport allegedly unearthed a prohibited substance.
Court documents allege customs officers found five boxes of the growth hormone Jintropin when Stallone got off Qantas flight QF8 from the United States on February 16.
Stallone was visiting Australia in February to promote his latest film Rocky Balboa.
It is alleged that Stallone ticked the ''no box'' when asked to declare whether he was bringing in restricted or prohibited goods ''such as medicines, steroids, firearms or any kind of illicit drugs''.
Court documents alleged Jintropin, whose active ingredient Somatropin, is a human growth hormone, is not a product approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and is not a recognised treatment for any medical condition.
Stallone, who has been excused from attending court at the next scheduled date, will be required to enter a plea on April 24.
