Yes, this is the story of a urologist wanting some free publicity from a shocking news story. The facts have already been covered in this forum -- as with everything else on the bike, proper fit (saddle height, stem height, saddle tilt, saddle-to-bar length, etc.)is crucial! A bad (e.g. conventional padded vinyl) saddle can indeed cause damage. My most comfortable saddle is still my never-tightened 1973 Brooks Pro, with almost 70K km of my own use on it. (That kind of durability is one mark of a superior product!) Second-best is a somewhat older, but less-used, Brooks Competition I recently picked up on eBay for $20. Almost as good is my 5-year-old Serfas ARC anatomical.
