World Anti-Doping Agency considers banning Viagra


Viper

Recommended Posts

The Montreal-based World Anti-Doping Agency says the little diamond-shaped blue pill is on the merry-go-round of doping trends and may land on its forbidden list.

The agency is sponsoring two scientific studies in the United States aimed at determining whether the active ingredient in Viagra gives athletes a competitive edge.

If it does, the drug will be banned from competitive sports, the agency's Frederic Donze said.

The article refers only to Viagra itself, and not to any of its competing brands. Still, if a ban does come off, the NFL and other leagues where these drugs are heavily advertised are going to have a little dilemma on their hands...

The NFL has stopped advertising Levitra and any other drugs like that, because (I think) there were a lot of concerns about the appropriateness of the ads being plastered all over stadiums and read over the PA in venues that are supposedly "family friendly".

I could see how Viagra could privde an extra edge to sprinters. Kind of a new spin on "Win by a nose." And yes, I'm leaving all the pole-vaulting material open.

Yeah, I was going to do a pole-vault joke, but those poles bend a lot.

I saw, I came, I left.

You could still go with a javelin joke. Or maybe even work the "shot put" in there somewhere, too.

Be creative.

I think Levitra is family friendly. If you use Levitra, you might end up with a family! :blink:
