Steroids are not able to cause brain cancer

The professor of Wisconsin’s University Norm Fost claims about certain common misconceptions related to anabolic steroids. Although several experts notice about serious and even fatal undesirable results of anabolic steroids, the doctor Fost denies these statements, confirming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But statements of this expert are not so often quoted by media as affirmations about serious unwanted reactions of steroids. So, the message of Norm Fost that steroids aren’t so harmful, as it is believed, is noted 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 physician 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 well-known that these substances may lead to different side symptoms. Norm doesn’t deny probability of appearing negative results. Actually, Norm Fost says some other things. He notices that possible risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. This specialist denies the affirmation that steroids lead to the rare type of brain cancer. According to certain sources, this led to 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 demonized his prolonged steroid abuse for the primary brain lymphoma which finally led to his death. Assertion of this player was the only evidence that indicated about the link between his intake of steroids and the brain cancer.
But a question appears here. Why did Lyle Alzado make public his steroid use, demonizing anabolic steroids for his diseases? Couldn’t you find this aspect strange?
Actually, 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 feared that the public would proclaim 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 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 Alzado had, nobody of them noted about links between his brain lymphoma and intake of steroids.
