Gregg Valentino, the man who according to Ripley’s Believe It or Not has the world’s largest biceps, no longer encourage the illegal use of steroids. Based on the interview conducted by ESPN, Valentino said that there is no way the world can seize or stop people from using different forms of performance-enhancing drugs.

He also added that steroids are not the only performance enhancers, cortisones and caffeine are also few of them. He also stressed out that he does not blame celebrities and athletes who seek the help of steroids to look healthy and youthful. Gregg Valentino also told the media that he does not agree with how the public scrutinize performance-enhancers, specifically steroids.

From ESPN E: 60:

Valentino’s “Ramblin’ Freak” column fits him as snug as a button-down shirt, and it has kept his celebrity alive, giving him a voice on everything from steroids to pop culture. In a recent interview with ESPN, Valentino said too many people are hypocritical when it comes to discussing issues surrounding use of performance-enhancing substances.

“The world would shut down tomorrow if we took away the ultimate performance enhancer: caffeine,” he said. “If you stopped everybody from drinking their coffee, taking caffeine, I bet you tomorrow half the people wouldn’t be able to function.”

Valentino also disagrees with how many people label those athletes using steroids as cheaters. According to him, these people just want to perform well since they are paid in million dollars. He compared using steroid with that of having cortisone shot and LASIK treatment. According to him, if using performance-enhancing drugs is cheating, then having laser eye treatment is also a form of cheating since it enhances or improves vision. Valentino said that he wants to work with Arnold Schwarzenegger and inform the public about the facts and myths of steroids.
