Maddux "Sure Loves To Pitch" (on Viagra)

The Rocket too. And Bonds (who, btw, is reportedly enjoying "significant stool softening" after the conviction of a gangster/trainer 'roids dealer was based on particular legalities which will be apparently unprovable in his case), Marion Jones, horses, bicyclists, everyone.

Play on, playa! According to a source, Roger Clemens kept a stash of Viagra in his locker at Yankee Stadium. Many athletes use the male enhancement product to give them a boost - on the playing field.

He told little white lies ... and he took little blue pills.

Roger Clemens, whose claims he never took steroids are under federal investigation, has apparently discovered the benefits of another performance-enhancing drug sweeping the sports world - Viagra.

Clemens stashed the clearly marked, diamond-shaped pills in a GNC vitamin bottle in his locker at Yankee Stadium, according to a source familiar with the clubhouse, perhaps keeping the drug undercover to avoid the inevitable wisecracks about all the girlfriends he needed to please.

Clemens wasn't alone. The pitcher, who is believed to have scored the drug from a teammate, joined the burgeoning number of athletes who have turned Vitamin V and its over-the-counter substitutes into one of the hottest drugs in locker rooms.

The drug is so widely used for off-label purposes that it has drawn the attention of anti-doping officials and law-enforcement agencies in the United States and beyond.

"All my athletes took it," BALCO founder Victor Conte, whose acolytes included Jason Giambi, Barry Bonds and Marion Jones, said of an over-the-counter supplement he claimed mimicked the effects of Viagra.

"It's bigger than creatine. It's the biggest product in nutritional supplements."

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

Many jocks even use Viagra for its intended use - as an erectile dysfunction drug, particularly as a remedy for too much partying.

The wildly popular lifestyle drug is legal and not banned by Major League Baseball or other leagues. Clemens violated no drug-testing rules by using the drug.

Clemens' lawyer Rusty Hardin did not return a call for comment.

Clemens told at least one friend the drug made him feel flushed and caused his heart to race.

All too aware of the Viagra trend, the World Anti-Doping Agency is funding a new study to determine if Viagra can be used to cheat in sports competition.

Researchers at the University of Miami, Tufts University and Marywood University in Scranton, Pa., are trying to determine if Viagra - officially known as sildenafil citrate - aids training and improves performance.

Anecdotal evidence suggests it does.

Cycling, a sport long tainted by doping, has suffered its own Viagra scandal.

Last month at the Giro d'Italia, Italy's biggest bike race, pro cyclist Andrea Moletta was suspended after the national police searched his father's car and found 82 Viagra pills and a syringe.

This is an affront to all of us who satisfied all those sluts the right way -- without chemical enhancements.


But chicks dig the long ball.

Dins, don't lie... you may not have been using Viagara, but you were damn sure using some form of "chemical enhancement" at the time.

Only to make the recipients of my generous gifts more palatable to my id.

I'm wondering Dins, was any of this stuff involved?

flower essences from Equilite/USA, helps those animals (and riders) that experience a lack of self-confidence and are afraid to face new situations. For the shy, timid, fearful, withdrawn, apathetic, or uncertain ones. Excellent if seeming reluctant or unwilling to meet the challenges or training expected of them. (i.e., crossing water, forging trails, entering vast and voluminous rumplecanyons etc.).
