The affirmation that steroids cause brain cancer doesn’t have any scientific basis

Norm Fost, the professor of Wisconsin’s University, destroys some common misconceptions connected with anabolic steroids. Although several experts proclaim about severe and even life-threatening unwanted effects of anabolic steroids, Dr. Fost denies these affirmations, 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 side results of steroids.  Thus, the message of Norm Fost that steroids are not so harmful, as it is believed, is noticed once for every 500-time conclusion that steroids represent a real evil.
 Furthermore, editors usually mislead readers, writing the quotes of this expert wrongly. 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 clamed that steroids were not harmful at all. It is evident that these substances may lead to different undesirable effects. Norm fost doesn’t deny risks of occurring  negative effects. Actually, this expert says some other things. This doctor notes that potential risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. Norm Fost denies the statement that steroids cause the rare type of brain cancer. According to some sources, this caused the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Norm Fost notes 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 that finally led to his death. Assertion of this player was the only evidence that indicated about the connection between his intake of steroids and the brain cancer.
But a question appears here. Why did Lyle Alzado make public his steroid use, blaming anabolic steroids for his diseases? Couldn’t you find this aspect strange?
In fact, it was said that AIDS had affected his immune system and induced destroying his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist said that Lyle Alzado had had T-cell lymphoma which was connected with AIDS. According to Dr. Thomas DeLoughery, Alzado was afraid that the public would know that he died from AIDS because of the cancer.
Pathologists at OHSU claimed that Lyle Alzado had had B-cell lymphoma that was not connected 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 specialists 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.
