I just got done watching cnn and they were saying how a source told them that the benign tumor that giambi is getting treated is located in his pituitary gland. They then made the statement that this goes to prove his steroid use, or at least raise flags....what do you think
Wonder if it was from inusulin injections? Don't really know if just test and other AAS would effect that gland.Quote:

With all the **** that causes cancer these days, how do they know it was AAS. That is some bad reporting. I thought journalists are supposed to leave their opinions out of the story.

I agree whole heartedly with Money Boss hustla
cake holes!
I just want to know why absolutely no one is allowed to talk about the secrecy around his mystery illness in the mainstream media. Something has to be going on...
I agree. Why make such a big deal out of it if it is not cancerus? People have a tendency to blow these things out of proportion. Beyond all that, what business does the media have reporting that because it is in his pituitary gland that he must be using. Yeah because it's in his pituitary gland does bring about some suspision, but maybe his family has a history of pituitary problems. No one knows for sure and all we can do is assume, but you know what happens when you assume...you make an a$$ out of you and me. How about this...instead of the media bashing Jason for something they have no fvking clue about, why not offer their condolenses to him and his family and wish him a speedy recovery? :scratch:Quote:

If it is from steroids, though, I highly doubt they would confirm it for obvious reasons. Maybe it's no ones business but him and his family and friends. After all this shat is settled, perhaps he will make a public statement to ease everyones mind. I just hope that he is going to be okay because a tumor, anywhere is not a joking matter and it upsets me that the media has taken the kind of stance it has on the situation.Quote:

Until they have solid, sound evidence that it's from AAS they should just let it be his personal business.
Sounds like BS
If Giambi was a rock start they would of said it was because of his Coke habbit. If he was an X-games athlete they would of said it was because of his Weed habbit. If someone in baseball so much as gets a common cold any more: ITS BECAUSE OF THE STEROIDS. The media are a bunch of jump to conclusion idiots IMO.Quote:

I wouldn't be so quick to call BS on this one. Tumors in the pituitary gland are not very common. We all know hormones DIRECTLY effect the function of the pituitary gland. There is clearly a link here. However, I am in no way implying everyone who uses AAS is going to have pituitary tumors.
Jason Giambi also did use steroids. So do a million other athletes, but I think it is safe to say that he has used. Why else would he be so ASHAMED of a tumor of the brain? That is not very embarressing at all, but answering a million media reports on steroids is. I know he has a right to privacy, but he is a public figure who makes millions of dollars. It is our business.
Even though it is benign, the reason they are probably removing it is because it is inhibiting the proper function of his pituitary. He was complaing about no energy and he lost a lot of weight, he probably is not producing the hormones he should be. I also heard they are going to treat his tumor with steroids.
First of all, if it's benign, it's not cancer. Cancer reuires malignancy of the tissue, and benign tumors don't metastasize like malignant ones do.
It could be from a number of other hormones introduced in the body. When you introduce exogenious hormone, especially one that uses the pituitary as a controller of the hormone, it would first cause the pituitary (whatever area of it that controls the specific hormone) to atrophy. When the introduction of exogenious hormone is ceased, the pituitary has to compensate by producing more of the hormone necessary to put the body back into equalibriium. If it works too hard, it can cause hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the pituitary. Since FSH is pituitary, steroids could have affected the abnormal hypertrophy and hyperplasia he is experiencing, but it could have been a number of other hormones controlled by the pituitary, such as cortisol, T3 and T4, and the countless other hormones that the pituitary controls the release of.
B.S. but he did juice
i dont know about his cancer or tumor but dude has some badass bikes!
They can crucify him for this but won't mention our president has been on vacation for over 50% of his time in office. What they focus on is always politically motivated. Always, because they're money is heavily affected by politics. And we know what cash flow can make a business do.

CNN Sucks!
That Report Was Full Of Bs, It Has Never Been Proven That Steroids Causes Cancer, That Is Predetermined In Our Own Dna, Heck Even If You Listened To All The Possible Causes Of Cancer Coming Out You Would Die Anyway So Why Bother Listening To The Uneducated When It Comes To This Bs.
I actually know Jason and speak to him often. Met at Vegas a few years back at a New Years party, yada yada yada. Anyway, its NOT from the steroids. LOL Its NOT CANCER, and its taken care of.
I just f'ing hate the way that the media portrays this image and ideology to the populas for the sake of selling ad space. F'ing aholes.
explain oh great one.....how is it "taken care of"Quote:
