NFL: Steelers' Roethlisberger denies cancer Web rumors


Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is telling a newspaper that social networking Web sites that claim to have news about him are bogus.

Roethlisberger says he doesn't have skin cancer, despite an online post by someone claiming to be him.

Roethlisberger tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he is not active on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. His agent, Ryan Tollner, says he's actively working to get those impostors and the misinformation they spread off the Internet.

Roethlisberger says he has one official Web site, www.BigBen7.com. He used to blog on that site, but hasn't since August.
