Roger Clemens, among other athletes, used Viagra to improve their athletic performance, according to a report in the New York Daily News.
Clemens got the pills — which are not banned by Major League Baseball — from a teammate and kept them in a GNC vitamin bottle in his locker, according to an anonymous source cited by the newspaper.

The newspaper also quotes BALCO founder Victor Conte as saying, “All my athletes took it,” in reference to a Viagra.

Among the off-label uses for Viagra, which first went on the market in 1998, it:
Helps build endurance, especially for athletes who compete at high altitudes
Delivers oxygen, nutrients and performance-enhancing drugs to muscles more efficiently
Counteracts the impotence that can be a side-effect of testosterone injections

MY opinion on this…
Who cares?? It seems as if newspapers are reaching for a story. Like I said BEFORE the season on this blog… “Steroids will be forgotten by mid season.. fans dont care… baseball fans will just care about how their team is doing” …. AND I was right. Steroids are not even being talked about until this tabloid came up with this story…
All Yankee fans care about right now is winning some games and getting over .500 for the season.
