Viagra is a PED who knew?
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...agra-as-a-ped/
At a time when many football fans are wondering why the NFL keeps suspending players for using Adderall as a performance-enhancing drug, Bears receiver Brandon Marshall says there’s another common prescription medication that players use to get an edge: Marshall says he has heard stories of other players using Viagra as a performance enhancer. Yes, he means on the football field. Get your mind out of the gutter. According to Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times, Marshall told reporters today that he has heard stories of other players using Viagra to get an edge. Marshall isn’t the first to hear about that: A 2008 Slate article noted that Viagra works by dilating blood vessels and increasing oxygenation, which means it could improve athletic performance, particularly at elevation. If you’re playing a game in Denver — where Marshall spent his first four NFL seasons — and you want to reduce the effects of playing at altitude on your body, popping a Viagra could help. Or a road trip to Denver could be a convenient excuse for a player filling a Viagra prescription. |

Or, you could just take NO supplements for the same effect, without the erections.
As for the effect, it's unlikely that the effect is noticeable outside of hypoxic environments. And that effect is likely to bring the individual back to normal, so not technically enhancing. It's not like EPO, where actual hematopoiesis is upregulated, thus leading to actual performance enhancement. |
