On May 2, 2007, The Age.com.au, an Austalian news source reported that “a publicist from 20th Century Fox, which is behind the release of the Rocky Balboa DVD, said Australian journalists were no longer welcome to its May 18 launch in Los Angeles, despite being confirmed six weeks” prior. Speculation is that without Australian reporters there will be no questions about charges that Sly brought in 48 vials of human growth hormone into Sydney this year.

It’s unknown whether this was a decision that Sly or 20th Century Fox made, but it’s too bad that Australian journalists couldn’t be allowed to attend, and questions from ANY reporter about the Australian incident be banned. For the full story, click HERE. – Craig
