Gregg Valentino also told the media that he does not agree with how the public scrutinize performance-enhancers, specifically steroids.

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.
