It’s also been used recently in fighting the GWoT.

I can’t dig up the link, but an American officer was negotiating with some Afghan leader, an elderly guy with four young wives. The leader was being cagey about giving up what he knew, and before the American left he slipped the old fart a couple of Viagra pills.

The officer then went back a week later and was astonished at all the info on local Taliban activity the old boy gave up.

The old guy then asked for more Viagra. I mean, yeah, drugs and booze and braods the old boy can get anywhere. But what he really wants is a stiffy.

if i wasnt afraid of seeing a spicy lil thing on the sidelines or in the stands or even standing as a referee (hot lines women?), id give this a try… im all for doing anything to stay one step ahead of the competiton, but im not about to play with wood just for a little better endurance on the field.

Isn’t it a vasodilator, or something similar? I think I remember reading it was first developed to help people with heart flow problems, so I’d imagine it’d help anyone who could do with improved blood supply to whatever…em, organ system…in question.

NY Times did an article on this a month or so back, a Uni in Pennsylvania (can’t recall which one…) did tests on various athletes from their sports teams, and found that it did improve performance when they restricted oxygen, gave them poor quality oxygen, etc.

“Who wants to watch a game featuring 22 guys running around the pitch with raging erections?”

Isn’t that a Benny Hill skit?

On top of that it’s been used in babies with some disease or something that made their heart’s weak. They were given low doses of Viagra and it helped them. This is just something pulled from the top of my head but I’m sure I could find the article.

Well seeing as I don’t have a PHD I can’t go too deeply into this, but I’m well rounded enough that I know what Viagra does and how the human body works. So in theory I’d say this Brazilian’s got a point, and it might work. Next thing you know we’ll be seeing it in Baseball for when teams travel to Mile High Stadium…
On top of that all Viagra does in your body is increase the blood flow etc and doesn’t actually give you an erection, to achieve that you still need sexual thoughts and an aroused mentality, which hopefully footballers aren’t having on the pitch.

That’s a damning admission if I’ve ever heard one, mele.

In all seriousness, this could actually be true, because of the way Viagra interacts with your blood vessels and such…
