Magnus Hedman on the betrayal of Lance Hedman's son

In 2012, the former national team goalkeeper, Magnus Hedman, published his autobiography entitled "When the Light Goes Out". In the book, he tells in part about his football career, but also the difficult times that followed when Hedman ended up in drug abuse.

In an interview with the newspaper Fact Two years later, Hedman spoke for the first time of the extent of the abuse. Hedman bought amphetamine for 300 to 400 crowns a day for two years and drugs for 200,000 crowns. 2007 to 2011 was "Four Years Hell," says Hedman in the interview.

The abuse had a detrimental effect on Hedman himself and his relationship with his son Lancelot Hedman, who is notably a leading Thai boxer.

Magnus Hedman about deception against Lancelot's son

In Lancelot Hedman's new TV show "Lance vs Life" at Viafree, Magnus tells how her addiction has affected the relationship with her son. It all starts with the fact that Lancelot remembers an end to school when Magnus would be DJ but did not show up.

"Do not say it, I'm starting to worry," Magnus Hedman says.

"Damn what I'm ashamed of," Lancelot said.

"The important thing is that this is not the case today, but remains difficult." Disappointing children is not fun, says Magnus in the program.

Magnus Hedman thinks his men have had a major impact on Lancelot's education.

"I had several difficult times, at least when I finished football, I felt very bad as a human being there, my addiction began three years ago. and a half, and the media talked a lot about it.It was clear that it was too difficult for him too.I think that part of his difficult period in adolescence comes from my way, that's This made him unconscious to grow up earlier, taking on responsibilities that he did not have to assume.It's pretty hard to say dad, but what I can do now, it's about being the best dad I can be to give him all the love I can.

Lancelot Hedman tells the program that when he saw that Magnus or Mommy Magdalena appeared in the magazine, he took them from the paper and hid them. He also tore up the bills instead of his mother or father.

Magnus Hedman: "There are things that hurt you"

SportExpressen has been in contact with Magnus Hedman, who told him about the abuse and why he moved into the TV program.

– This program is not about a guy born with candy money in the mouth and who has had an easy life. I think the series has depth that can inspire many other young people and make it clear that life can be hard sometimes, but it is possible to get up again. And this has been demonstrated by Lance many times during his 18 years, he says and continues:

"We had already talked about it and I said that if we had to do it, it had to be honest, it's not as difficult for me to talk about my addiction and it's a proof of It's the best way for me to talk about it differently today, and I think it's the smallest thing I can do for Lance, so that people can get a fair idea of the way his life was and is.

Do you feel some regret because you were the father that you were?

"It hurts to rethink that time, but the relationship we have today is amazing.My compensation to Lance does not mean forgiveness, but it's an action. act against him, we now have a healthier relationship 24 hours a day, with no discharge when I feel bad.

How are you today?

– I'm fine. I spend one to two hours a day recovering.
