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.
