Brazillian Soccer Team to Go on Viagra

14 Jan 2009You’ve heard of athletes using steroids to soup up their game, but what about Viagra? Well one Brazilian soccer team is about to get a prescription for the wonder drug, allegedly to help them fight the effects of altitude sickness. Yeah…
The possibility was admitted by the club’s doctor in the city of Porto Alegre, Alarico Endres, who has been studying if the blue pill might help oxygenization of the blood in athletes and help reduce the effects of altitude.According to Endres, some specialists believe that the remedy used by men with erectile problems can benefit athleses who need better blood oxygenization in adverse conditions.
“Based on assumptions we won’t do anything, but if research shows scientifically that Viagra improves performance in [high] altitude, we can offer it to players,” said Endres.
I don’t want to think about the atmosphere in the locker room after one of these “altitude” treatments. Look what happens in the commercial when only ONE person is on the stuff!

Earlier this week, we wrote on how starting on December 1st, Mexico City is starting an HPV vaccine push on girls between 11-13. Lest Mexican viejos feel left behind, el D.F. is beginning an initiative for older men that day as well.
Beginning December 1, Mexico City plans to hand out free medicine to elderly men with erectile dysfunction, the local government said.“Everyone has the right to be happy,” said Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, governor of the federal district that encompasses the Mexican capital.
“We have to protect people — senior citizens above all,” he said in a statement Thursday. “Many of them are abandoned and lack money. They don’t have medical services, and a society that doesn’t care for its senior citizens has no dignity.”
