Feds ask about several athletes’ testicles

Certain sportspersons who are suspected of steroid use become targets of the government. Federal prosecutors do almost anything in order to determine whether some athletes have used any performance-enhancing drugs. 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 disclose the truth about usage of banned medicines. Thus, girlfriends of some sportspersons are interviewed by federal prosecutors.
For example, it has been reported that former girlfriends of Lance Armstrong and Roger Clemens and a former mistress of Barry Bonds have been asked about several details linked with 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 affirmed that the athlete’s testicles were shrunken. Thus, her answer served as a proof that Barry Bonds used steroids and/or other forbidden medications.
It is known that testicular atrophy is included in negative consequences of several steroids. So, the government decided to learn whether Barry Bonds had had this trouble. But it is an unreliable argument in order to prove that someone has applied several banned products. Steroid users may prevent this unwanted result, if they use certain preparations for this need.
Mindy McCready, a former mistress of Roger Clemens, was asked whether this former baseball player had suffered from erectile dysfunctions. The woman 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 negative results of steroids more attentively, you can understand that this problem is more likely to appear after discontinuation of administration. It happens because natural secretion of testosterone is normally suppressed by intake of exogenous testosterone. But since there are such remedies which can restore natural testosterone secretion, erectile dysfunctions can be prevented.
Sheryl Crow, a former girlfriend of Lance Armstrong, was also targeted by federal prosecutors. But questions are not known. According to several suppositions, she might have been asked also about sexual abilities of the 7-time Tour de France winner.
Actually, federal prosecutors have a wrong point of view in this case. However shrinkage of testicles and erectile dysfunctions may occur on account of steroid use, these arguments are not reliable.
