Drug importing convictions will stand against a high profile Christchurch bodybuilder and personal trainer who now faces a doubtful future in his chosen career.

Christchurch District Court Judge Gary MacAskill said sports stars - even those at elite level - could expect no special treatment from the courts if they committed serious criminal offences.

Twenty-four-year-old Stephen Michael Raymond Orton had asked for a discharge without conviction after he admitted being a "catcher" for two packages of the class C drug methylone which were sent from the firm in China. The drug mimicks the effects of ecstasy.

Judge MacAskill refused the discharge, telling Orton: "The lesson for you and others to learn is that if you commit serious criminal offending you will suffer the consequences."

For Orton, those consequences were a sentence of seven months of home detention and 150 hours of community work "as a repayment for the community", said the judge.
