Upcoming tv documentary:The Man Whose Arms Exploded

Hidden Lives:The Man Whose Arms Exploded (Documentary) UK Only. Time - 21:00 - 22:00 (1 hour long).When - Monday 14th August on five.
Cautionary documentary following the rise of steroid abuse both in the US and the UK. Featuring the extraordinary story of Gregg Valentino, the proud owner of the world's biggest biceps, and his journey of total self-destruction.
.................................................. .................................................. .........................

I'm guessing most people have heard or seen pics of Gregg with his grossly oversized steroid and synthol pumped arms and the subsequent results when he decided to perform his own operation on his infected biceps..

Steroid using,dealing,..using his gym as a front to sell them,his self mutilation and risk of his life,his tempestuous collapsing marraige.. i'm surprised his story has'nt been turned into a true life tv movie..!!

You have to remember this is Five

the same channel that ran that documentary about Richard Sandrak, as well as documentaries on the following subjects:

"Britain's Fattest Man"
"The Man with two C***ks"

and perhaps the one that a million spoof artists couldn't wait to tear to bits:

"I'm Pregrant by Seventeen Different Fathers"

This show has already aired here in the US. There was a whole thread about it if you search for it. I was rather disappointed in the amount the documentary skipped over.

You can see an excerpt of the show here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtHc8UAf6tM

This segment includes home video of Gregg's self surgery on his arm when it got infected and discussing his arrest for dealing steroids. In the interview segments, his arms don't look as "bloated" as other pics I've seen of him - you can actually see a little definition in the mass.

I thought the most disappointing thing was that it was all blamed on steroids. Synthol wasn't even discussed.

Yeah I noticed that as well, synthol was never mentioned. It only seems to be "steroid this, and steroid that" sort of deal. Synthol is worse then steroids in my opinion, considering all that he did to himself.
