I am now officially hyped over the Beijing Olympics! Who wouldn’t be? Lots of star athletes representing their homelands, and so many new hopefuls about to get their first Olympic medals!

As with all the other Olympic seasons, this one isn’t spared from controversy. It seems that cunning players may just use (or abuse) the 10-year-old impotence drug, VIAGRA.

That’s right. The WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) did not include this vasodilator in the list of banned substances during the games, and the reasoning is based on its apparent athletic benefits only under high altitude conditions.

“You will hardly get to play a football match on Mount Everest.” said Eduardo de Rose, president of the medical commission of the Pan-American Sports Organization. (source)

Well, then, maybe under the thick smog covering Beijing, athletes will not think of using any drug that will increase the flow of oxygen-containing blood to their lungs (not to mention, other significant organs)? Doubt it, but whatever… I am soo watching this season’s games!

I wonder if the people reading this post now have ever tried these blue diamonds. Or its herbal equivalent, Herbal V?
