Mark Cuban Suggests Steroids Responsible for Gregg Valentino’s Arms

Since it was announced that Magnolia Pictures had acquired the distribution rights to the steroid documentary “Bigger Stronger Faster“, I’ve been looking forward to comments from Magnolia Pictures owner Mark Cuban regarding the film. Today, he finally made an entry on his weblog Blog Maverick with a few brief comments. I was disappointed that he took this opportunity to suggest anabolic steroid use was responsible for Gregg Valentino’s arms! This does not give a good public image of steroid users.

I love this movie because its a hysterical look at the sports world. Steroids are the common theme in the movie, but its a theme that is ripe for humor. How can a guy with guns like Gregg Valentino not be…

Although I’m a big supporter of the steroid film project and have written positively about the movie, I’ve also written about my disappointment regarding the use of Valentino in the movie trailer; it only spreads steroid misinformation about the effects of steroids. The public actually believes that Valentino’s arms are the result of steroids. The documentary does nothing to dispel this.

Overall, the movie is terrific at educating the viewer about the side effects of anabolic steroids and the issues surrounding their use in sports and society. But perhaps, the asterisk included in the movie title “Bigger Stronger Faster*” should have referred to the following clarification:

*Gregg Valentino’s arms are NOT the result of anabolic steroids.

    Dude, your wrong...steriods are responsible for Gregg Valentino's arms....I watched an episode of the Tyra Banks show where he was a guest and he was talking about how he used to shoot up with all kinds of needles...even dirty ones he just dropped on the ground...
  • Just because Gregg Valentino's made this claim to Tyra Banks doesn't make it true.

    (@Justin Here is the link you provided to Gregg Valentino's appearance on the Tyra Bank show; the commenting system apparently doesn't allow embedded videos.

    I hope your trying to be funny cause that video just proved to me again that steroids are responsible for his arms...therefore making Mark Cuban correct.
  • Drew
    Mark Cuban is an idiot, and no, I do not care what he owns, what he makes, etc etc etc. If you're dumb your dumb....period.

    Of course Valentino took steroids, but those arms are definitely the product of Synthol. Synthol and steroids are two different things. And as for Cuban, there is enough dis-informtion out there floating around to an equally un-informed public......get the facts straight!

    Nah. The size of his arms have nothing to do with steroids. It's all broiled chicken, hard work and a positive attitude.

    Look, that synthol shit certainly is a substantive factor, but to deny that anabolic steroids are also a huge part of that freak's equation is beyond stupid.
  • I'm not denying he used steroids or that he works out or that he eats a lot of protein.

    But to say that steroids played a "huge part" in the creation of arms like that is about as honest as saying that steroids played a huge role in the DD size chest seen on a female bodybuilder with 3% bodyfat. Never mind the 850cc implants.

    The elephant in the room isn't anabolic steroids.
