Government discloses private behavior of some athletes

Some sportspersons that are accused of steroid use become targets of the government. Federal prosecutors do almost anything in order to determine whether some sportspersons have taken any doping products. They don’t spare taxpayers’ funds for this goal. Much money is wasted to reveal even private life of athletes. According to the government, several details of their private behavior can disclose the truth about administration of banned drugs. Thus, 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 several aspects linked with private life of these athletes. Which questions were asked?
Kimberly Bell, a former mistress of Barry Bonds, was asked about testicles of this baseball player. She noted that the baseball player’s testicles were shrunken. So, her affirmations served as an argument that Barry Bonds took steroids and/or other forbidden drugs.
It is known that testicular atrophy belongs to unwanted effects of some steroids. Thus, 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 certain forbidden products. Steroid users may avoid this unwanted result, if they use certain products for this purpose.
Mindy McCready, a former mistress of Roger Clemens, was asked whether this former baseball player had suffered from erectile dysfunctions. The singer affirmed that sometimes Roger Clemens had suffered from this problem.
When it comes to erectile dysfunctions, they may occur during application of steroids. But if you study information about negative consequences of steroids more attentively, you can understand that this problem is more likely to appear after discontinuation of intake. It happens because natural testosterone secretion is usually suppressed by usage of exogenous testosterone. But since there are such remedies which have capacity to restore natural secretion of testosterone, erectile dysfunctions can be avoided.
Sheryl Crow, a former girlfriend of Lance Armstrong, was also targeted by feds. But questions are not known. According to certain suggestions, she might have been asked also about sexuality of the cyclist.
Actually, federal prosecutors have a mistaken point of view in this case. Although shrunken testicles and erectile dysfunctions may occur because of steroids, these arguments are not reliable.
