I hope this is just a case of doping and not actually cancer.
Why not both? It's very common knowledge that doping can cause cancer. The most famous example being Lance Armstrong's cancer widely thought to have been caused by the massive amounts of drugs he took.
You're getting downvoted but it's well documented that for women; taking testosterone greatly increases cancer risk. Idk about Armstrong's situation
The assumption seems to build in that the family are in poverty. The girls' father ran a blue riband track event for France in world champs so maybe naively I'd think he might one way or another have used this to keep the wolf from the door
Morocco's got a very poor doping record. Germany had state-sponsored doping on both East and West sides through 1990 where children from age 12 were being doped by the state.
"West Germany, too, had its doping policy – although it didn’t have an official name, and there weren’t any specific plans. And West Germany, too, collectively denied it – although here the denial lasted much longer: until August 2013. It was then Humboldt Universität Berlin published research that ended the long-cherished illusion that only the east was guilty of structural doping abuse. The study revealed that doping use was structural and widespread in the former FRG between 1970 and 1990 just as well, and that doping was provided for FRG minors as well. West German politicians knew and sometimes even encouraged it. Striking detail: the study had been completed months prior, but the Department of the Interior only published a censored version after excerpts had leaked to the press. In the report the department disclosed, names of politicians were removed, because some of them were believed to be still in office at the time. The study showed that the West German government spent an estimated ten million DM on 516 scientific studies into the performance-enhancing qualities of anabolic steroids, testosterone, and EPO. Coaches pressured athletes to take the drugs: whoever refused was denied important competitions. The side effects these studies showed were never mentioned. In turn, coaches and sports doctors were pressured by politicians with overly-ambitious objectives. People gladly looked the other way at official doping controls."

EPO also increases the risk of tumor progression with some cancers, mainly due to stimulatory effects on angiogenesis.
Erythropoietin (; EPO), also known as erythropoetin, haematopoietin, or haemopoietin, is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted mainly by the kidneys in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production (erythro...
My wife is a doctor. She says in a country like Germany the chances of both medical records and prescriptions being faked and not able to be verified are small. You are wrong in your statement unless you can put forward a convincing argument. It's a mattrer of how much these athletes want to prove their innocence.
All three sisters have been expelled from their athletics club. If you want to compete on nationals you have to be in a local club. Samir Benfares is not very cooperative according to their club. They were asked to leave voluntarily but did not.
Nach positiven Dopingproben von Sara und Sofia Benfares schließt ihr Verein LC Rehlingen die beiden Läuferinnen aus. Ebenso die ältere Schwester Selma. Offen ist, ob nun Sperren folgen.
Als die Läuferin Sara Benfares positiv getestet wurde, behauptete ihr Vater, sie habe Knochenmarkkrebs. Dann wurde auch ihre Schwester erwischt. Der Vorfall ist ein Lehrstück über ausfallende Kontrollinstanzen.
Nach den Doping-Vorwürfen hat Sara Benfares ihre Karriere als Leichtathletin beendet. Nach Angaben ihres Anwalts ist sie bei einem Arzt in Behandlung – wegen welcher Krankheit, ist weiter unklar.
