The professor of Wisconsin’s University Norm Fost claims about some common misconceptions connected with anabolic steroids. However several experts notice about serious and even fatal adverse consequences of anabolic steroids, the doctor Fost denies these statements, claiming that they lack any scientific basis.
But affirmations of Norm Fost are not so frequently quoted by media as statements about serious negative symptoms of steroids. Thus, the message of Norm Fost that steroids aren’t so dangerous, as it is believed, is noted once for every 500-time statement that steroids represent a real evil.
Moreover, editors usually create a wrong perception among readers, writing the quotes of this specialist wrongly. For example, a headline of a radio talk sounds following: “UW-Madison doctor: steroids aren’t harmful at all”. The headline is not correct. It is misleading. Norm Fost has never stated that steroids were not harmful at all. It is well-known that these substances may cause various undesirable results. Norm fost doesn’t deny risks of appearing negative effects. Actually, this doctor says some other things. This expert notes that probable risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. This doctor denies the statement that steroids cause the rare type of brain cancer. According to several sources, this led to the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Dr. Fost notices that there is no any connection between the death of this player and steroids.
Alzado blamed his prolonged steroid abuse for the primary brain lymphoma which finally led to his death. Assertion of this player was the only evidence which indicated about the connection between his usage of steroids and the brain cancer.
But a question appears here. Why did Alzado make public his steroid use, blaming anabolic steroids for his diseases? Couldn’t you find this fact strange?
In fact, it was said that AIDS had affected his immune system and promoted destructing his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist noticed that Alzado had had T-cell lymphoma which was linked with AIDS. According to Dr. Thomas DeLoughery, Alzado was afraid that the public would proclaim that he died from AIDS because of the cancer.
Pathologists at OHSU claimed that this football player had had B-cell lymphoma which was not linked with HIV or AIDS.
The physician DeLoughery explained the situation. He noted that T-cells of this person were inflamed but the malignant cells were B-cells.
While experts disputed about AIDS and the type of cancer which Lyle Alzado had, nobody of them claimed about connection between his brain lymphoma and intake of steroids.
