Contamination with fungal meningitis and usage of anabolic steroids

More than 500 individuals were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had administered Methylprednisolone injections manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Over 30 individuals died from this condition. No one must have doubted that the contamination was a great tragedy for several individuals and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations tried to benefit from the situation. What did they do? They began to demonize anabolic steroids. It was noticed by the media that anabolic steroids could lead to the fatal condition fungal meningitis.
Lately the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation related to illicit manufacture of anabolic steroids. It found out that anabolic steroids were produced by an underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office affirmed that they conducted the investigation in order to prevent contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if anyone takes anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she may be contaminated with fungal meningitis.
In fact, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office manifested own ignorance related to anabolic steroids and risks related to contamination with fungal meningitis. A person may get fungal meningitis, if he/she uses medicines which are injected directly into the central nervous system. Methylprednisolone Acetate injections are applied into the central nervous system. That’s why these contaminated corticosteroids led to the fungal meningitis outbreak. When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are mainly injected into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to get contaminated with fungal meningitis while taking anabolic steroids. If you take anabolic steroids which are produced in unsterile conditions, you may get several undesirable results. But you will never get fungal meningitis while taking anabolic steroids for medical or even for athletic needs.  
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak caused by intake of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be just a condition to demonize anabolic steroids.  Notice, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It belongs to corticosteroids.
