Tge Wisconsin University professor Norm Fost destroys several common misconceptions linked with anabolic steroids. However some specialists notice about serious and even life-threatening undesirable results of anabolic steroids, the physician Fost denies these statements, confirming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But statements of Norm Fost are not so often quoted by media as affirmations about serious adverse results of steroids. So, the message of Norm Fost that steroids aren’t so harmful, as it is believed, is written once for every 500-time conclusion that steroids represent a real evil.
Furthermore, editors usually create a wrong perception among readers, writing the quotes of Norm Fost 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 confirmed that steroids were not harmful at all. It is evident that these medications can lead to various undesirable effects. Norm doesn’t deny probability of occurring adverse symptoms. Actually, this doctor says some other things. This specialist notes that potential risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. This doctor denies the statement that steroids cause the rare form of brain cancer. According to several sources, this led to the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Dr. Fost notes that there is no any connection between the death of this player and steroids.
Alzado demonized his prolonged steroid abuse for the primary brain lymphoma that finally led to his death. Assertion of this player was the only evidence that supported the link between his administration 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?
Actually, it was said that AIDS had suppressed his immune system and promoted destroying his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist noticed that Alzado had had T-cell lymphoma that 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 reported that Lyle Alzado had had B-cell lymphoma which was not linked with HIV or AIDS.
The doctor DeLoughery explained the situation. He said 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 that Lyle Alzado had, nobody of them noted about connection between his brain lymphoma and administration of steroids.
