Some cyclists even survive cancer, and then come back to a higher level of performance than they had previously. Does that mean there is such a thing as a cancer that has a positive effect on athletic performance?

To keep on the topic of cyclists:

Tim DeClerq - out for months after being diagnosed with pericarditis after Covid infection.

Sonny Colbrelli - suffered cardiac arrest yesterday after his race, two months after Covid infection.

Again, the article is not about the immediate aftermath but one year later (i.e. long term effects). And Sonny Colbrelli was a freak incident - "All cardiac tests carried out last night showed no signs of concern or compromised functions." https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/mar/22/italian-cyclis...
