FORMER Celtic keeper Magnus Hedman has been charged with taking anabolic steroids.
The Swedish goalie is alleged to have had an illegal substance and alcohol in his blood after police swooped at a petrol station.
He is suspected of using stanozolol - the same substance used by Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson in the 1988 Olympics.
Hedman denies the charges and the case will now go to trial later this year.
He said: "I'm innocent - it was an ingredient in a diet supplement I took. I have never knowingly taken doping."
Hedman's Mercedes was raided by police at a petrol station in Stockholm in May.
He was travelling with another man and cops found 55 stanozolol tablets in a pair of trousers in his car.
When police tested the keeper, they allegedly found the substance in his blood.
