News: Viagra used by athletes to boost up performance, again?
Even if in 2008 there were some scandals related to the same issue, this situation comes into picture once again. The WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) was alerted to enhance the process of monitoring the use of these drugs in the sport domain.
Viagra and other products like Cialis and Levitra cannot be listed as illegal substances only because of their usage by athletes, since on the other hand are very effective in terms of erectile dysfunction and impotence.
In addition, several studies were started to accurately determine which is the influence and impact of Viagra on athletic performance. In the sporting circles, Viagra is referred to as Vitamin V and it seems that Cialis was also found in the urine sample of some male athletes.
Researchers think that besides increasing the blood flow, the erectile dysfunction product Viagra also increases endurance especially at high altitudes and in polluted sporting conditions. Studies were performed on cyclists who have shown that their average time improved with 15% after taking Viagra. Action must be taken in order to prevent this situation going worse and many athletic organizations are ready to take action. The WADA is ready to start a deeper investigation in this area and prevent further cases.
In the past there were many cases when important athletes such as Andrea Moletta were suspended. From another point of view, using Viagra may counteract the effects of using steroids which is a common practice among athletes nowadays. While steroids can lead to impotence in time, the Viagra pills prevent erectile dysfunction problems.
Regardless of this situation, Pfizer pharmaceutical declared its understanding of this situation and declared that they only market Viagra for its main objective and recommended use which is mainly erectile dysfunction and impotence.
Today, Viagra has many uses and is available under many forms such as: liquid Viagra (Turn On), Viagra pills, chewable Viagra with a wide variety of flavors and even Viagra powder. Since it is available online and without prescription, it can lead to excessive usage and the side-effects can lead to long-term affections.
