Horny athletes in the clear

Turns out that the ever-miraculous Viagra can do more than help you get it on: recent findings show that the drug increases blood flow to the lungs, potentially enhancing performance on the field, as well as in the bedroom. But Olympian users of the famous little blue pill, or "Vitamin V" as it's known in the athletic world, shouldn't have to curb their habits just yet, since testing is probably still in too early a stage to ban the drug for 2008.

    This will effectively negate the expression "winning by a nose"

    What about olympic curling? the athletes wouldn't need a broomstick anymore.



    or lets not forget about ping pong, there's an extra paddle in place.



    Trojan advertising should have this one wrapped up to protect the atheletes!

    hey would improve swimming events cos the swimmers would have a keel

  • China-Matt

    Don't think they have to test for it. Should be obvious which athletes are taking it.

  • James Creegan

    Lyrca is being consumed now? At the olympic village after lights out, maybe, but they cut it out on TV.



    I wonder would be a good test for Viagra...

  • dedlam

    This is going to make the mens swimming, diving and track events very interesting to watch. Have you seen amount of lycra that is consumed in those sports.



    I'm not even going to mention what it's going to do for fencing.....LOL
