But let's explore that: If he did, he would have had testicular cancer (like Lance Armstrong, common in young men). A testicular cancer with elevated HCG would be somewhat advanced, and certainly would require orchiectomy (removal of testicle). That didn't happen which means he clearly doesn't have it. Could his doctors have told him he might have it? Sure, but they're not dumb - they knew most likely he was using steroids.

And yes, hermaphrodites could have elevations of HCG, depending on what female to male parts they had.

Btw, there was some thought that marijuana could cause a false postiive HCG, but that was disproven in the 1980s.

Conclusion: The guy is an idiot and was probably doing steroids.

maybe he got breast cancer from his bitch tits (gynocomastia)
