Norm Fost doesn’t claim that steroids are not harmful at all

Norm Fost, the professor of Wisconsin’s University, claims about some common misconceptions connected with anabolic steroids. However certain experts note about serious and even life-threatening unwanted reactions of anabolic steroids, Dr. Fost denies these statements, confirming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But affirmations of this doctor are not so frequently quoted by media as affirmations about serious side results of steroids.  Thus, the message of Norm Fost that steroids are not so dangerous, as it is believed, is noticed once for every 500-time statement that steroids represent a real evil.
 Moreover, editors usually create a wrong perception among readers, writing the quotes of this specialist 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 stated that steroids were not harmful at all. It is evident that these products can lead to various adverse consequences. Norm fost doesn’t deny risks of occurring  negative consequences. Actually, this doctor says some other things. This physician 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 caused the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Norm Fost notes that there is no any link 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 person 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, blaming anabolic steroids for his illness? Couldn’t you find this factor strange?
Actually, it was said that AIDS had affected his immune system and promoted destructing his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist noted 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 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 connected with HIV or AIDS.
The physician DeLoughery explained the case. He noted 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 Alzado had, nobody of them claimed about connection between his brain lymphoma and intake of steroids.
