Common misconceptions about steroids

Tge Wisconsin University professor Norm Fost claims about some common misconceptions linked with anabolic steroids. Although certain specialists notice about serious and even life-threatening unwanted effects of anabolic steroids, Dr. Fost denies these affirmations, claiming that they lack any scientific basis.
But affirmations of this doctor are not so often quoted by media as affirmations about dangerous undesirable effects of steroids. Thus, the message of Norm Fost that steroids aren’t so harmful, as it is believed, is noticed once for every 500-time affirmation that steroids represent a real evil.
Furthermore, editors usually create a wrong perception among readers, writing the quotes of this doctor incorrectly. For example, a headline of a radio talk sounds following: “UW-Madison doctor: steroids aren’t harmful at all”. The headline is wrong. It is misleading. Norm Fost has never stated that steroids were not harmful at all. It is evident that these medications may cause different side reactions. Norm fost doesn’t deny risks of occurring unwanted effects. In fact, this doctor says some other things. This physician notices that potential risks of steroids are significantly exaggerated. This physician denies the affirmation that steroids lead to the rare type of brain cancer. According to some sources, this caused the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Dr. Fost confirms 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 which finally led to his death. Assertion of this person was the only evidence that indicated about the link 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 factor strange?
Actually, it was said that AIDS had affected his immune system and promoted destroying his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist noted that Lyle Alzado had had T-cell lymphoma that was related to AIDS. According to Dr. Thomas DeLoughery, Alzado feared 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 that was not linked with HIV or AIDS.
The physician DeLoughery explained the situation. He noticed 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 noted about links between his brain lymphoma and administration of steroids.
