I was offered a presciption for steroids in 1952. I went to the library and found out what they were and I told my doctor no. I knew all kinds of athletes who took them I don't think any one really benefitted from their use. George Park

    The magnitude of the risk cannot be determined from currently available data, because the number of patients receiving androgens is unknown. The above sentence is the conclusion of the article. In the abstract it sites six patients. It doesn't say how many were even looked at during the study. From the abstract, the conclusion seems very risky to me. for all we know there could have been thousands of people. Do you know from what study this abstract was taken?
