Feds: erectile dysfunctions and testicular atrophy prove that certain athletes have doped

Some athletes who are accused of steroid use become targets of the government. Federal prosecutors do almost everything in order to learn whether certain athletes have used any performance-enhancing drugs. They don’t spare taxpayers’ funds for this purpose. Much money is spent to reveal even private life of sportspersons. According to the government, certain details of their private behavior can disclose the truth about application of banned medicines. So, girlfriends of several sportspersons are interviewed by federal prosecutors.
For example, it has been disclosed that former girlfriends of Lance Armstrong and Roger Clemens and a former mistress of Barry Bonds have been asked about some details linked with private life of these athletes. Which questions were asked?
Kimberly Bell, a former mistress of Barry Bonds, was asked about size of testicles of this athlete. She reported that the athlete’s testicles were shrunken. So, her answer served as an argument that Barry Bonds applied steroids and/or other prohibited products.
It is known that testicular atrophy is included in undesirable results of some steroids. Thus, the government decided to find out whether Barry Bonds had had this problem. But it is an unreliable argument in order to prove that anyone has used several forbidden medicines. Consumers of steroids may avoid this undesirable consequence, if they use some drugs for this purpose.
Mindy McCready, a former mistress of Roger Clemens, was asked whether this former athlete had experienced erectile dysfunctions. The woman confirmed that sometimes Roger Clemens had suffered from this problem.
As for erectile dysfunctions, they may occur during administration of steroids. But if you study information about unwanted results of steroids more attentively, you can understand that this problem is more likely to appear after discontinuation of usage. It happens because natural production of testosterone is usually suppressed by application of exogenous testosterone. But since there are such medicines which can regenerate natural production of testosterone, erectile dysfunctions can be prevented.
Sheryl Crow, a former girlfriend of Lance Armstrong, was also targeted by feds. But questions are not disclosed. According to several suggestions, she might have been asked also about sexual abilities of the cyclist.
Actually, federal prosecutors have a wrong opinion in this case. Although shrinkage of testicles and erectile dysfunctions may appear on account of steroid use, these arguments are not proper.
