Gremio to "game test" Viagra - Tuesday, January 13
According to Gremio's club doctor the miracle sex drug Viagra could help football players perform better at altitude and wants the Brazilian club to put his theory to the test.
Club medic Alarico Endres claims that he had his Eureka moment whilst reading a magazine "which wasn't a medical one".
"Viagra increases and improves the blood circulation," explained Endres. "It therefore can improve the performances of players at high altitude."
At the moment it is only a theory but one that is expected to be "game tested" during the Copa Libertadores, in particular when the matches are played above 2,500 metres in Bolivia.
Soccernet predicts a high scoring game with Gremio's rampaging players benefiting from improved penetration in the box ... Sorry. Couldn't help it.
Quite how they are going to conceal the medically intended effect of the drug is still unknown.
