Viagra to be added to WADA's banned substance list?

Views: 726 | Rating: 0.0 (0 votes) | Print | | Flag
According to a number of media sources, Viagra (and Cialis, which is the same thing), is increasing being used by athletes to enhance performance, to the point that WADA (the World Anti-Doping Agency) are considering making it a banned substance.

Viagra could, apparently boost either explosive power, or endurance (particularly when there is air polution) - by dilating blood vessels, and "aiding the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles".

Indeed, it's potential as a performance enhancing drug was flagged a number of years ago, and Victor Conte, who supplied a number of high-profile banned springers like Marion Jones and Dwain Chambers, has admitted giving it to his athltes.

If Viagra and Cialis are to be banned, it wouldn't be until 2010, so many athletes in Beijng may well be using them, so more athletes might be more 'up for it' than previously realised.

Ooh-er, missus.
