Viagra, Not Just For Broken Pee-pee's Anymore?

Just read this story this morning: http://tinyurl.com/5v7ejg

Highlights of the article:The drug works by increasing the effects of nitric oxide, which makes blood vessels expand. That should, theoretically, allow blood cells to get more oxygen from the lungs. It might also improve heart function.

Some preliminary studies have shown that cyclists taking Viagra improved their performances by up to 40 percent.

Viagra is only likely to help athletes such as runners, cyclists or skiers. Viagra does not work directly on muscles so will not make athletes stronger.
