New “Performance-Enhancing Drugs”
Posted on 11. Jun, 2008 by alisse in Blog, Lifestyle, Sports
Viagra is the new, popular drug for athletes needing an extra boost on the field. The Daily News in New York reported that New York Yankee Roger Clemens stashed the pills in a vitamin bottle in his locker. He is just one among the various athletes that are using Viagra to get an edge on the competition - or maybe to do some more racy photoshoots with his wife for Sports Illustrated. Viagra and over-the-counter supplements imitating the drug are the most widely used nutritional product - even more than creatine.
Some uses not included on the label include: building endurance by delivering oxygen, nutrients and performance-enhancing drugs to muscles more efficiently. It is not currently banned my MLB or other sports. Taking Viagra does not violate any drug-testing regulations but the World Anti-Doping Agency is now funding a study to see if it can be used to cheat.
