Report: Viagra May Provide Baseball Players On-Field Edge

msn.foxsports.com — Apparently, Viagra has become a popular pick-me-up for athletes looking for an edge on the field and perhaps some frisky behavior off of it, according to The Daily News in New York. You'll never look at the phrase "performance-enhancing drugs" in quite the same way again.

  • magicjohnson, on 06/10/2008, -1/+13I go to the gym on a regular basis and whey proten and creatine just aren't giving me the results I want. Now I know what I have to do to take it to the next level. Thank you Bukowsky.

    • alpinecow, on 06/11/2008, -1/+4Well, one thing's for sure--the bat isn't the only piece of wood on the field anymore.

  • candafilm, on 06/11/2008, -3/+5Is this why all the bats are made of wood?
    • morninglorii, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Yes, all the bats are made of wood because Viagra might enhance performance in baseball.
    • solittledeserve, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1"Huh huh huh huh...wood."
  • theheights, on 06/11/2008, -1/+6Other than the distraction factor, I can't think of how a raging boner could give players an edge.

    I'd rather not think about it, actually.
    • Greengoo, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Damnit, now I'M thinking about it...
  • mlvassallo, on 06/11/2008, -0/+14When this wasn't an Onion article I almost did a spit take.

  • ElJif, on 06/11/2008, -0/+9I like the final line about how an e-mail sent to Dick Pound bounced back because of the spam filter...you just can't say "viagra" in e-mails anymore. Oh yeah, "Dick Pound" is also funny.
  • matt247, on 06/11/2008, -1/+1Cup designers are going to have to back to the drawing board. It will be like Madonna's pointy bra, but for your penis.

  • Nomad83, on 06/11/2008, -0/+8Without it, they can still get to third base...but this helps them score.
  • opensourcer, on 06/11/2008, -1/+4That puts a whole new meaning to corking a bat.
  • Misinformant, on 06/11/2008, -1/+2EXTRA BAT EMIRITE?
  • rblancarte, on 06/11/2008, -2/+2So one time Mark Grace sees his pitcher, Greg Maddux, walking around strange on the mound. He walks up to check to see if he is hurt. When he gets close, he realizes that Maddux isn't hurt, he has a freaking hard on on the mound. He tells him, "Dude, you must really love pitching."

    Now we know what really worked him up.
  • conkeso, on 06/11/2008, -1/+0I'm not going to touch this one...

  • staden121, on 06/11/2008, -0/+0Apart from Fencing, I cannot see where it is necessary to rise to the occassion in sport. I lack the obvious credentials to comment here but I was under the impression that men find it difficult to walk around with a hardon, let alone running around on the field with one.
  • EtherGnat, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1...and you thought a spit ball was nasty!
  • galvo, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1I like how the picture of the Digg has no relation to the story.
  • jordan1, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1That's what she said.
  • crgnetworks, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Dick Pound...
  • silentdragoon, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2"Catlin said he e-mailed then-WADA chairman Dick Pound several years ago to point out that Viagra might be a doping agent, but the message bounced back because the spam filter on Pound's computer would not let the e-mail through."

    haha, the spammers win again
  • Zippo, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2Only matter of time before someone gets a 100mph fast ball to the crotch.
    • Hassassin, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2And hits a home run with their dick.
  • roadtripper, on 06/11/2008, -0/+3In unrelated news, all of the players on the KC Royals roster have tested negative for Viagra. Or any other performance-enhancing drugs.
  • HMMcKamikaze, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1You know what else gives players a boost on the field? Coffee! Better ban that too before someone abuses it.
  • nedy78, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2Makes sense. Viagra is designed to increase blood flow to one eyed willie. It's hard to make a drug that doesn't seep into other muscles.
