That's a possible cause, sure, but we should also be clear that it is not caused by steroids of the performance enhancing nature, but rather it has in extremely rare cases been caused by injections made to lessen the pain of bad joints.

I wouldn't say that's a clear cause, but it's been loosely connected to AVN.
