Steroid-using athletes must have testicular atrophy and erectile dysfunctions

Some athletes who are suspected of steroid use become targets of the government. Feds do almost everything in order to determine whether certain athletes have taken any doping products. They don’t spare taxpayers’ funds for this purpose. Much money is wasted to reveal even private life of athletes. According to the government, some details of their private behavior can reveal the truth about application of prohibited products. So, girlfriends of certain athletes 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 several aspects related to private life of these sportspersons. Which questions were asked?
Kimberly Bell, a former mistress of Barry Bonds, was asked about testicles of this athlete. She reported that the baseball player’s testicles were shrunken. Thus, her words served as an argument that Barry Bonds applied steroids and/or other prohibited preparations.
It is known that shrinkage of testicles is included in side effects of some steroids. So, the government decided to find out whether Barry Bonds had had this trouble. But it is an unreliable argument in order to prove that anyone has used several banned preparations. Consumers of steroids can avoid this unwanted result, if they administer several drugs for this purpose.
Mindy McCready, a former mistress of Roger Clemens, was asked whether this former baseball player had had erectile dysfunctions. The singer noted that sometimes Roger Clemens had experienced this problem.
When it comes to erectile dysfunctions, they may occur during usage of steroids. But if you study information about undesirable effects of steroids more attentively, you can understand that this problem is more likely to appear after discontinuation of application. It happens because natural testosterone production is normally suppressed by intake of exogenous testosterone. But since there are such products which have capacity to regenerate natural testosterone production, erectile dysfunctions can be avoided.
Sheryl Crow, a former girlfriend of Lance Armstrong, was also targeted by federal prosecutors. But questions are unknown. According to several suggestions, she might have been asked also about sexual abilities of the 7-time Tour de France winner.
Actually, the government has a wrong opinion in this case. Although shrinkage of testicles and erectile dysfunctions may occur on account of steroid use, these arguments are not proper.
