Cyclist using Viagra to enhance performance. Not kidding.

Advertisements [?]

It appears the drug helps high altitude performance.

http://www.miamiherald.com/457/story/560121.html

Untold numbers of men -- and their partners -- can attest to Viagra as a performance enhancer in the bedroom.

Can it also perk up performance in a bicycling race?

Scientists at the University of Miami are studying whether sildenafil citrate can improve the speed of cyclists riding at altitude. The World Anti-Doping Agency is funding the two-year project to determine if Viagra should be added to the list of banned drugs in sports, joining steroids, human growth hormone and EPO.
