A BODYBUILDER who has modelled for Calvin Klein was caught with a stash of steroids at his home.

Adam Stefan Browner, who won his category at the 2011 IFBB Australian Championships, pleaded guilty in the Southport Magistrates Court this morning to seven drug possession charges.

He had 44.5g of steroids inside his Labrador home in pill and liquid forms.

Magistrate Gary Finger said the amount of drugs police found on October 17 last year was “a lot.”

But defence lawyer Troy Smith, of Moloney MacCallum Abdelshahied Lawyers, said 44.5g wouldn’t last a steroid user even one week.

Mr Smith said Browner began bodybuilding at 22 and turned to steroids as his obsession for his physique grew.

Browner quit working in the fitness industry in the wake of the charges and has opened an automotive business, the court was told.

“His life revolved around bodybuilding,” Mr Smith said.

“He still goes to the gym four days a week, but is no longer obsessed by it.

“He’s made a commitment to changing his life.”

Browner previously worked as a personal trainer and nutritionist.

His profiles on a talent management website list Calvin Klein, Aussiebum and Underarmour as some of the brands he had modelled for.

Browner was fined $2000. No conviction was recorded.

He did not comment outside court when asked if he used steroids to help him win bodybuilding competitions.
