Fed: Customs delay all a misunderstanding, says Stallone

SYLVESTER STALLONE has dismissed the confiscation of several items by Customs officers
at Sydney airport .. as a misunderstanding.

The Hollywood star's whistlestop trip to Australia got off to a rocky start last night
.. when he and his entourage of about five were quizzed about some suspect items found
in their luggage.

They were delayed for about two hours .. after routine X-rays of their luggage revealed
several prohibited items.

Tonight as he strutted the red carpet at the harbourside premiere of his latest film
.. STALLONE laughed when he was quizzed about the incident.

Customs won't confirm the nature of the items .. which are being held for further examination.

However they're believed to include body-building drugs.
