physiologists/docs question on Lance ratio

the abnormal test to epitest ratios now coming to light PRIOR to lance's cancer...is it possible that an undiagnosed neoplasm of the family jewels could have caused such an abnormnal ratio? are these used as marker ratios to test for a possible testicular cancer? i know nothing about it, and hope you can educate me a bit. also, is testosterone produced in the testicles and stimulated (avoid the temptation for a joke here, please) by the adrenal gland or the other way around. i'm just genuinely curious. thanks.

Yes.

What happened to his balls should never happen to anyone's balls unless they are Ben Roethlisburger's.

I would suspect both testicles and adrenal glands play a role. Simply suffering a contusion on one testicle could cause your T/E ratios to go out of whack.

Seems ben's as well as lance's testosterone levels have both gotten them into trouble. Anyone out there have an answer to my question who is definitive on the subject? Though I appreciate the one answer, I'm not looking for "I suspect this or that" type stuff. Thanks in advance.

Ben's actions are not due to Testosterone. There are plenty of men who have extremely high Testosterone and are complete gentleman, unless they're smashing the skulls of the weak.

Ben's actions are a sign of a sociopath.

And again, having a testicle removed is obviously going to change your T/E ratios if you are an elite athlete training as hard as lance was.
