Clomid can worsen a tumor?

Bothered by a balky knee, Giambi hit just .250 in 2003. Giambi batted .208 and played in only 80 games last season, missing time because of a tumor, which the New York Daily News reported was in his pituitary gland. Medical experts told the Chronicle that Clomid, a drug Giambi said he thought Anderson had given him, can exacerbate a tumor of the pituitary gland.

The important thing here is to remember it can only exacerbate a pituitary tumor and not cause it. Since clomid is stimualting the pituitary gland to release fsh and LH, an existing tumor in the pituitary will also be stimulated.

Exactly. For some reason, probaly shock value, the media is taking any steroid related story and throwing the nastiest, scariest twists on them. Like with what's his name, the Yankee that just died. He's partying with coke and oxycotins, but what is the first accusation by the press. It must of been his prior steroid use that killed him.
