Interesting "Health" article...

The Health section of today's LA Times says that use of Viagra and its
competitors is spreading fast to younger men - the under 45 age range
tripled in insurance reimbursement requests from 1998 to 2002. Doctors
are reporting requests from men as young as 16.

And, in a companion story, a study funded by the German Research
Foundation and Pfizer reports Viagra is helping both men and women
mountain climbers breathe more easily while climbing at extreme
altitudes (such as Mt. Everest). It seems to help at sea level as well
(although it wasn't tested on elite athletes, it has been tested and
used on race horses), and is NOT banned by sporting organizations!

I wonder if any elite athletes have started using it yet?

Concerning male cyclists, I guess it might make it hard to hold an aero
position, no?

Yeah, you gotta wonder if the breathing benefits would offset the
difficulties of riding with a big ole' boner.

I figure hard pedalling and the frenzy of competition would offset the
sexual response. But if a rider were to pin some graphic pornography
the jersey pocket, a juiced up breakaway partner might find himself
distracted, and suddenly lacking a half a liter of blood volume.

Remember the Cinelli stem that Cipo used with the pinup on it back in the
mid-1990s?

Pamela Anderson. But that wasn't "graphic porn". In a race situation,
"leaving something to the imagination" isn't going to cut it.
