• He says his descent began in 1982 with cocaine, alcohol and medications, leading to depression and panic attacks.
• He rejects characterizations of the 1989 episode as a suicide attempt, describing it as exhaustion and a cry for help.
• He says he deposited a semen sample for insemination at Bertè’s request, then left Milan for London to recover and resume training, and later faced a bigamy accusation he claims kept him from returning to Italy.
• He reports surgery for an aggressive prostate cancer and urges men to get preventive checks because the disease can remain silent.
