Disputes linked with celebrated American cyclist’s testicular cancer

However the ashamed American cyclist Lance Armstrong has been already stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles and other awards, his steroid scandal is still widely discussed. Many indidivuals are still expressing their attitudes towards this case. Not only his possible usage of performance-enhancing drugs is debated but several persons also speak about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer. Why has Lance Armstrong experienced this health problem in his young years? What has caused this disease in him?
Whoopi Goldberg, a celebrated American actress is also implicated in discussions connected with Lance Armstrong’s doping scandal. While she has been mainly involved in discussions related to marijuana and other related drugs, now she has chosen to join those that fight against steroids and other related medicines.
According to Whoopi Goldberg, Lance Armstrong has got testicular cancer because of steroid use. The actress thinks that steroids are likely to lead to cancer. She argues that these medicines may promote appearing and developing cancer. Whoopi Goldberg thinks that experts should inform people about possible connections between anabolic steroids and cancer. The actress notices that experts can find out whether steroids have sickened Lance Armstrong.
But what do other prominent individuals consider about Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer? Bob Weiner, a prominent political commentator, notes that anyone should be very careful while expressing suggestions that steroids are responsible for development of cancer. This man realizes that these drugs are demonized for numerous undesirable effects which are quite harmful for consumers’ health and even life. But he adds that it is unusual to demonize anabolic steroids for cancer. Such affirmations are serious. Bob Weiner believes that this issue has nothing to do with anti-doping morality.
Nonetheless, Bob Weiner is inclined to believe that Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer has developed because of anabolic steroids. This disease usually doesn’t trouble young males. Why then has Lance Armstrong experienced it? Since scientific literature suggests that links between cancer and steroid use may exist, Bob Weiner doesn’t deny affirmations of Whoopi Goldberg.
But as it has been already mentioned, this issue is not included in those of anti-doping policies. Anti-doping officers focus on morality and they don’t care about protection of athletes’ health.
