Sylvester Stallone has pleaded guilty to charges of importing an illegal growth hormone into Australia.
The 60-year-old Rocky Balboa actor admitted that he was in possession of the hormone Jintropin when he was stopped at Sydney airport in February.
Customs documents submitted to the court indicated that Stallone had denied that he was bringing any restricted substances into the country.
However, upon finding the bottles of Jintrpoin, officials issued a document reading: "You have not been validly prescribed the goods by a medical practioner for any medical condition suffered by you and for which the goods are recognised medical treatment."
He is to be sentenced next week, and could face a fine of up to £9,200.
