The partner of one of the biggest names in the fitness world has escaped conviction after illegal prescription drugs linked to steroid use were found in his Lamborghini.
Tobias Robert William Pearce, who is the fiance and business partner of social media fitness sensation Kayla Itsines, tried to "conceal" a blister pack of Cabolin prescription medication when he was pulled over by police for speeding, news.com.au reported.
The Adelaide Magistrates Court heard the "anti-oestrogen" pills were "often used with steroids" but were not considered a "recreational" drug.
The Adelaide Advertiser reported that the 25-year-old said an unnamed person left the prescription tablets in his black Lamborghini Huracan, which has previously made headlines for being photographed parking in a disabled bay without a permit.
The wealthy entrepreneur was reportedly fined $1500 and banned from driving for a year for his "appalling and dangerous" driving, receiving a further fine of $150 for unlawfully possessing a prescription drug.
The news comes as his 26-year-old fiance was applauded for revealing her stretch marks on her Instagram account to promote self-love and body-positivity.
'This one is for the ladies asking me if I have stretch marks anywhere, yes I sure do," she wrote.
"I am a woman, and I am proud to be one and have these marks! Some of us wont have any at all, some will have them just like me and others will be completely different. We all have them, mine are on the sides of my legs.... for now.
"I'm sure when I decide to have some babies, I'll get some more - but hey, #thisisme! My beautiful bubba will be so much more important than a few lines on my bod."
