Anabolic steroids are not responsible for the brain cancer of Lyle Alzado

Norm Fost, the professor of Wisconsin’s University, destroys certain common misconceptions related to anabolic steroids. However several experts note about dangerous and even life-threatening unwanted reactions of anabolic steroids, Dr. Fost denies these statements, claiming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But statements of this doctor are not so often quoted by media as statements about severe negative results of steroids. So, the message of Norm Fost that steroids aren’t so dangerous, as it is believed, is noticed once for every 500-time conclusion that steroids represent a real evil.
Furthermore, editors usually create a wrong perception among readers, writing the quotes of this expert 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 evident that these drugs can cause different negative results. Norm doesn’t deny risks of occurring negative effects. Actually, this expert says some other things. He notes that probable risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. This expert denies the statement that steroids lead to the rare form of brain cancer. According to certain sources, this caused the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Dr. 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 player was the only evidence which supported the connection between his administration of steroids and the brain cancer.
But a question appears here. Why did Alzado make public his steroid use, demonizing anabolic steroids for his illness? Couldn’t you find this aspect strange?
In fact, it was said that AIDS had suppressed his immune system and induced destroying his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist noticed 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 reported that Lyle Alzado had had B-cell lymphoma which was not connected with HIV or AIDS.
The physician DeLoughery explained the case. He said 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 that Lyle Alzado had, nobody of them confirmed about links between his brain lymphoma and intake of steroids.
