Over 500 individuals were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had introduced Methylprednisolone injections produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Over 30 individuals died from this disease. No one must have doubted that the contamination turned out to be a great tragedy for several persons and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations put efforts to benefit from the case. What did they do? They started blaming anabolic steroids. It was claimed by the media that anabolic steroids could cause the fatal illness fungal meningitis.
Recently the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation connected with illegal manufacture of anabolic steroids. It found out that anabolic steroids were produced by certain underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office reported that they conducted the investigation for prevention of contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if someone administers anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she may be contaminated with fungal meningitis.
In fact, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office demonstrated own ignorance related to anabolic steroids and risks related to contamination with fungal meningitis. One may get fungal meningitis, if he/she takes products that are injected directly into the central nervous system. Methylprednisolone Acetate injections are administered into the central nervous system. That’s why these contaminated corticosteroids caused the fungal meningitis outbreak. When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are mainly administered into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to be contaminated with fungal meningitis while taking anabolic steroids. If you apply anabolic steroids which are manufactured in unsterile conditions, you may face several side effects. But you will never face fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids for clinical or even for athletic purposes.
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak resulted from usage of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections was just a condition to demonize anabolic steroids. Note, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It is a corticosteroid.
