Is it true that bike riding causes problems "down stairs" ?

Someone told me this claim and it has gotten me a little worried. Bike riding has become my favorite form of excersise and I don't want any "problems". I have heard about some kind of study done recently that somehow "confirms" this, is this true. Also I heard that the people who funded and supported this stude were the gasoline companies and fast food industry, is this also true?
 
I have been riding road bikes with 130 - 135 mm saddles since 1968. Unpadded until the gel saddle was introduced. No cut outs until recently. Last time I calculated (no logs were kept until the past 10 years) over 200,000 miles ridden.

No problems -- yet. Fathered 2 healthy children. Everything down stairs is still in working order.

But the studies are still being studied.
