Affirmations of a Wisconsin University specialist about steroids are quoted by media wrongly

Norm Fost, the professor of Wisconsin’s University, claims about some common misconceptions related to anabolic steroids. Although certain specialists proclaim about dangerous and even life-threatening side reactions of anabolic steroids, the physician Fost denies these affirmations, claiming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But affirmations of this expert are not so frequently quoted by media as affirmations about serious negative effects of steroids. So, the message of Norm Fost that steroids aren’t so harmful, as it is believed, is noticed once for every 500-time affirmation that steroids represent a real evil.
Moreover, editors usually mislead readers, writing the quotes of Norm Fost 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 well-known that these products may cause different adverse effects. Norm doesn’t deny probability of occurring negative reactions. In fact, this specialist says some other things. This doctor notes that probable risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. This doctor denies the statement 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 confirms 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 that finally led to his death. Assertion of this person was the only evidence that indicated about the link between his administration 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?
In fact, it was said that AIDS had suppressed his immune system and promoted destructing his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist said that 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 this football player had had B-cell lymphoma which was not linked 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 that Alzado had, no one of them claimed about links between his brain lymphoma and usage of steroids.
