Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone said in a letter submitted to an Australian court May 15 his importation of two banned substances was a "terrible mistake" caused by ignorance of local laws.
Stallone will be sentenced on May 21 after he pleaded guilty to bringing vials of restricted muscle-building hormones into Australia while promoting Rocky Balboa.
"I made a terrible mistake, not because I was attempting to deceive anyone but I was simply ignorant to your official rules," Stallone said in the letter to Sydney's Local Court.
