A Russian cycling coach has pleaded guilty to importing anabolic steroids after being detained at Sydney Airport.

The 36-year-old arrived at the Australian airport on 13 May 2003 and was detained along with a 29-year-old female cyclist after Australian customs officers discovered 30 tablets of the anabolic steroid Stanozolol and two Androderm testosterone patches inside a hard plastic bicycle case.

It is claimed that the pair had packed the luggage together and brought the goods in jointly. However, the cyclist has denied the charge, according to The Associated Press.
