Rocky To Forfeit Championship Belt?

Okay, guys. I know this is going to be some earth-shattering news. It might make you not believe much in the film industry anymore. It might be tearing down one of your heroes. It might make you think that nothing is sacred anymore.

A 60-year-old man who played a muscular boxer in a recent film has been officially charged in Australia with trying to bring vials of human growth hormone into the country.

Yes, Sylvester Stallone and his entourage were stopped entering the country on Feb. 16, where customs officials confiscated items after searching his bags. They searched a hotel room three days later and took more items, which, ah, well. Smart move there, Sylvester.

Prosecutors said they found 48 vials of HGH with Sly. He faces up to five years in prison and a fine of $86,000 if convicted. His lawyers will have to enter a plea on April 24.

The article notes, though: “Stallone isn’t likely to receive such a sentence.” Gee, you think?
