Michael Douglas denies blaming oral sex for contracting cancer

The actor, 68,  is  currently backtracking on claims his cancer was caused by oral sex. The Guardian stands by its story and denies it 'misrepresented' the actor.

The transcript reads the reporter asking: 'Do you feel, in hindsight, that you overloaded your system? Overloaded your system with drugs, smoking, drink?'
Michael then replied: 'No. No. Ah, without getting too specific, this particular cancer is caused by something called HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus.'

Douglas fought a six-month battle with the disease from August 2010 until January 2011. Doctors have given Douglas the all-clear, although he still has to undergo check-ups every six months.However, the actor is optimistic he has conquered the disease once and for all. 'With this kind of cancer, 95 percent of the time it doesn't come back,' he said.

So who do we believe?
