Moger hit the headlines after reports surfaced that he’d fallen from the second storey window of his house. Graphic images were shared of Moger’s house that had parts of the interior destroyed prior to the fall. He has since appeared in court and pleaded guilty to possessing a number of drugs, including testosterone, cannabis and methamphetamine.

Moger experienced critical injuries as a result of the fall, and was placed in an induced coma in order to save his life. Moger has since regained consciousness, however, his team has revealed that he has a long road ahead of him. The bodybuilder’s lawyer, Bernard Campigli, said that his client would be checking into rehab to treat his addictions.

“Some great news for you guys: Calum is on the road to recovery,” a member of von Moger’s team told his fans in an Instagram video message yesterday.

“It’s been a week now since he checked himself into a facility. I’m very excited about that. It will be a long road. It’s a long process. Everybody who has ever gone through addiction or has had someone in their family with addiction knows that it’s not an easy road.

“But we wanted to give you guys our thanks on behalf of Calum. Calum sends his appreciation, gratitude for all the well wishes, the birthday wishes, the cards, the gifts.

“Thank you guys from the bottom of our heart. It really helped him get to where he’s at today, on the road to recovery.

“We’ll continue to just be a positive light, regardless of how dark it’s been lately. I can tell you, 60 per cent of the stuff that’s out there is completely – it has no basis. It’s idiotic. These idiot YouTubers or Instagramers or influencers who think they’re trying to make their name off of Cal. It’s heartbreaking to see people act that way.

“But for everyone that’s been positive, sent positive messages, we thank you guys. We’ve got some big news coming later in regards to Cal.

The team member added that Moger would be taking some time off from social media.

“Right now, we don’t know if you guys will hear from him personally in eight weeks, 12 weeks, six months, a year. The best thing for him is to recover; to go through this process.

“He continues to inspire, and he will continue to inspire, regardless of what that ends up being. But we thank you guys, and we’ll have more news for you soon. We apologise that it’s taken this long to get a message out to you guys, but I’m happy we’re able to now. And you’ll hear (from us) more often.”

Von Moger played a younger version of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2018 film Bigger and has a Netflix documentary titled Calum von Moger: Unbroken on Netflix which premiered in 2019.
