New England Compounding Center manufactured contaminated steroids

Over 500 individuals were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had applied Methylprednisolone injections produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Over 30 individuals died from this condition. Nobody must have doubted that the contamination turned out to be a great tragedy for several individuals and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations decided to benefit from the situation. What did they do? They started demonizing anabolic steroids. It was noticed by the media that anabolic steroids could cause the life-threatening illness fungal meningitis.
Lately the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation related to illicit manufacture of anabolic steroids. It learnt that anabolic steroids were produced by an underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office affirmed that they conducted the investigation in order to prevent contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if a person takes anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she has a risk to get fungal meningitis.
In fact, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office displayed own ignorance related to anabolic steroids and risks linked with contamination with fungal meningitis. One may get fungal meningitis, if he/she applies preparations 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 led to the fungal meningitis outbreak. When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are mainly injected into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to face fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids. If you take anabolic steroids that are produced in unsterile conditions, you may face certain additional health problems. But you will never get contaminated with fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids for medical or even for athletic needs.  
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak resulted from intake of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be just a condition to blame anabolic steroids.  Note, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It belongs to corticosteroids.
