Government asks about size of testicles of certain athletes

Some athletes that are suspected of steroid use become targets of the government. Federal prosecutors do almost everything in order to determine whether several sportspersons have used any doping products. They don’t spare taxpayers’ funds for this goal. Much money is spent to learn even private life of sportspeople. According to the government, some details of their private behavior can disclose the truth about usage of banned medicines. Thus, girlfriends of some athletes 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 aspects related to private life of these sportspersons. 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 baseball player’s testicles were shrunken. Thus, her words served as an argument that Barry Bonds took steroids and/or other forbidden products.
It is known that testicular atrophy belongs to side reactions 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 anyone has used some prohibited medications. Steroid users may prevent this negative reaction, if they apply some drugs for this need.
Mindy McCready, a former mistress of Roger Clemens, was asked whether this former baseball player had suffered from erectile dysfunctions. The singer noted that sometimes Roger Clemens had experienced this problem.
As for erectile dysfunctions, they may occur during application of steroids. But if you study information about side results of steroids more attentively, you can understand that this problem is more likely to appear after discontinuation of intake. It happens because natural testosterone production is normally suppressed by application of exogenous testosterone. But since there are such remedies that can restore natural production of testosterone, erectile dysfunctions can be avoided.
Sheryl Crow, a former girlfriend of Lance Armstrong, was also targeted by federal prosecutors. But questions are not revealed. According to some suggestions, she might have been asked also about sexual abilities of the 7-time Tour de France winner.
In fact, the government has a wrong point of view in this case. Although shrunken testicles and erectile dysfunctions may appear because of steroids, these arguments are not proper.
