Not this again lol.
Firstly they are interpretting data. Theres no conclusive proof.

Those who eat two portions a day - equivalent to a bacon sandwich and a fillet steak - increase their risk of bowel cancer by 35% over those who eat just one portion a week, the study found. The World Health Organisation's international agency for research on cancer (IARC) called for everybody to eat more fish and less meat.

^^ You're only eating one portion 5x a week so you fall out of the risk bracket.

Colorectal cancer risk from eating red or processed meat on a regular basis (three ounces per day) is lower than the risk associated with obesity and physical activity

You are a physically active person, so your risk of most things automatically reduces.
It won't be the meat - it will be the Test/Progest/Growth hormones causing havoc when you deep fry the meat in 10 day old used vegetable oil...
Finally... This study was done as two surveys 10 years apart:

The findings, published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association (Vol. 293, No. 2: 172-182), are based on a long-term study of nearly 149,000 adults between the ages of 50 and 74. The participants filled out a questionnaire about their eating habits in 1982, and again in 1992/1993. Thun and his colleagues looked at how many people had developed colon cancer by 2001, then analyzed the risk according to how much red meat, poultry, or fish the people had eaten.

The study didn't include any vegetarians...
All studies are total bobbins if I'm honest. They are at best a set of opinions which agrees with some data. How accurate that data is ... well thats a different matter.
What I would say is the more red meat you eat, then more you would benefit from increasing your green veg comsumption.
