Lyle Alzado demonized steroids because he didn’t want public to proclaim that he had AIDS

Norm Fost, the professor of Wisconsin’s University, destroys some common misconceptions linked with anabolic steroids. However several specialists notice about severe and even fatal unwanted results of anabolic steroids, Dr. Fost denies these affirmations, confirming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But statements of this doctor are not so often quoted by media as statements about serious side results 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 statement that steroids represent a real evil.
 Moreover, editors usually create a wrong perception among readers, writing the quotes of this specialist 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 obvious that these medications can cause different unwanted results. Norm fost doesn’t deny risks of appearing  side consequences. Actually, this specialist says some other things. This specialist notices that potential risks of steroids are significantly exaggerated. This specialist denies the affirmation that steroids lead to the rare type of brain cancer. According to several sources, this led to the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Norm Fost claims that there is no any link between the death of this player and steroids.
Alzado demonized his prolonged steroid abuse for the primary brain lymphoma which finally caused his death. Assertion of this person was the only evidence which indicated about the connection between his steroid use 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 factor strange?
In fact, it was said that AIDS had affected his immune system and induced destructing 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 know that he died from AIDS because of the cancer.
Pathologists at OHSU reported that this football player had had B-cell lymphoma that 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 specialists disputed about AIDS and the type of cancer which Lyle Alzado had, no one of them claimed about connection between his brain lymphoma and intake of steroids.
