Calum von Moger, a three-time Mr Universe winner from Australia, has enrolled himself into a treatment clinic to combat his drug addiction.
"Some excellent news for you guys: Calum is on the mend," a member of von Moger's staff informed his supporters in an Instagram video message yesterday.
"He has been checked into a facility for a week now. That makes me really happy. It will be a lengthy journey. It's a lengthy procedure. Everyone who has struggled with addiction or has a family member who has struggled with addiction understands that it is a difficult path to go.
"However, we wanted to thank you on behalf of Calum." Calum expresses his thanks and gratitude for all of the good wishes, birthday greetings, cards, and presents.
"From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you." It was quite beneficial in getting him to where he is now, on the path to recovery.
"Regardless of how dark things have gotten recently, we'll continue to be a good light." I can tell you that 60% of what's out there is absolutely based on nothing. It's ridiculous. These dumb YouTubers, Instagrammers, and influencers who believe they can create a career for themselves by exploiting Cal. It's terrible to watch individuals behave in this manner.
"But we want to thank everyone who has been nice and given wonderful comments. Cal will be the subject of some major news later on.
"Right now, we don't know whether you'll hear from him in eight weeks, 12 weeks, six months, or a year." It is better for him to recuperate and go through this process.
"He continues to inspire, and he will continue to inspire, no matter what happens." But we appreciate it, and we'll have more news for you shortly. We apologize for the delay in getting a message to you, but I'm glad we can do so now. And you'll hear from us more often."
Von Moger's staff emphasized in the post's description that rehabilitation is "as vital in life as it is in bodybuilding."
"It's fantastic to see how much good there is in the world. A modest gesture or some nice words might mean the world to someone who is in a horrible situation. They have to come to us."
Von Moger avoided conviction last month in Melbourne Magistrates' Court after pleading guilty to narcotics possession, including methamphetamine and cannabis.
He appeared via video connection and with his arm in a sling, having sustained a major injury after he fell from a second-story window at his Geelong house on May 4. The 31-year-old had spine surgery and spent 11 days at Melbourne's Alfred Hospital.
Von Moger was detained on January 31, before the injury, when illegal substances were discovered in his automobile. He had been pulled up by police while driving without license plates.
He pled guilty in court to seven counts of drug possession, including methamphetamine, cannabis, testosterone cypionate, proviplex, and viaplex. He was compelled to contribute $500 to the court fund.
Bernard Campigli, the bodybuilder's lawyer, told the court that von Moger suffered from melancholy and was traumatized by a carjacking while living in Los Angeles. He returned home last year.
"Unfortunately, he quickly spiraled out of control." "He had used testosterone for a period of years... other medications entered the picture," Mr Campigli said.
He said that his client will participate in a rehabilitation program.
Von Moger was transported to the hospital by ambulance on May 4 after police were called to his residence in response to complaints of a man having a mental health crisis.
Before many police vehicles and ambulances arrived, nearby construction workers reported hearing shouting, screaming, and glass crashing.
Three windows were shattered and boarded up on both floors of the house, and glass fragments were found strewn underneath the broken windows.
The bodybuilder is most known for portraying Arnold Schwarzenegger in Bigger, an American comedy-drama released in 2018. He has 3.3 million Instagram followers and his own apparel business.
He grew raised in Anglesea, on Victoria's Surf Coast, with his five siblings. At about the age of 14, he began lifting weights there.
In 2011, he became the World Fitness Federation's Mr Universe for the first time in Austria. His other two championships came in 2014 and 2015.
He told The Australian at the time that one of his key aims was to "truly make a difference" and encourage youngsters to get out of the home and go to the gym.
He returned to Australia in October after spending time in Los Angeles.
In a Facebook post from a Sydney hotel quarantine, he claimed he had a difficult year, including the loss of his dog Rex, and that he missed Australia and was looking forward to "finally" visiting his friends and relatives in Victoria.
"I realize this seems insane," he said, "but a voice within told me it's time to give up my freedom and luxurious life in Los Angeles and return home."
The week before his hospitalization, von Moger changed the description of an emotional Instagram post in which he appealed for forgiveness from his supporters.
"Everyone has a history. We've all gone through difficult times. I confess that I made several mistakes. But I'm not interested in lingering on terrible memories from the past. All that matters to me is that I learn from my errors and grow as a person. "I'm doing my best to be strong, but I have bad days," he added.
