Steroids don’t lead to fatal side effects

Norm Fost, the professor of Wisconsin’s University, claims about certain common misconceptions connected with anabolic steroids. However several specialists proclaim about severe and even life-threatening unwanted results of anabolic steroids, the doctor Fost denies these statements, confirming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But affirmations of this doctor are not so frequently quoted by media as affirmations about serious side results of steroids. Thus, the message of Norm Fost that steroids are not so dangerous, as it is believed, is noted once for every 500-time affirmation that steroids represent a real evil.
Furthermore, editors usually mislead readers, writing the quotes of this specialist incorrectly. 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 drugs can cause different side effects. Norm fost doesn’t deny probability of occurring unwanted effects. In fact, this specialist says some other things. This expert notices that possible risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. This physician denies the affirmation that steroids cause the rare form of brain cancer. According to some sources, this caused the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Norm Fost confirms that there is no any link 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 person was the only evidence that indicated about the link between his administration of steroids and the brain cancer.
But a question appears here. Why did Alzado make public his steroid use, demonizing anabolic steroids for his condition? Couldn’t you find this factor strange?
Actually, it was said that AIDS had suppressed his immune system and promoted destructing his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist noted that Lyle Alzado had had T-cell lymphoma which was linked with AIDS. According to Dr. Thomas DeLoughery, Alzado feared that the public would know that he died from AIDS because of the cancer.
Pathologists at OHSU claimed that this football player had had B-cell lymphoma that was not connected with HIV or AIDS.
The doctor DeLoughery explained the situation. He noticed that T-cells of this person were inflamed but the malignant cells were B-cells.
While specialists disputed about AIDS and the type of cancer which Lyle Alzado had, no one of them confirmed about connection between his brain lymphoma and usage of steroids.
