I saw this on the website for Complete Running. As a public service, I thought I would share this with you.
Dateline London: “Athletes looking for a performance boost are increasingly turning to a little blue pill more usually taken for its off-the-field benefits: Viagra.
“Some sports authorities say the drug is now finding a following among athletes.“The World Anti-Doping Agency is currently studying Viagra’s effects in athletes, but hasn’t yet banned it. Experts are divided over whether it actually offers athletes an edge.”
As a public service, CompleteRunning.com provides this series of advertising slogans to help Pfizer market Viagra to athletes:
* Viagra – Because it’s a game of inches.
* Viagra – Great for racing and tapering.
* Viagra – When the competition is stiff, so are you.
* Viagra – Make your long runs longer.
* Viagra - Runner’s high.
* Viagra – The women in your life will run faster, too.
* Viagra – Now when you hit the wall, you’ll knock it down.
* Viagra – Because you can’t teach size.
* Viagra – Play hardball.
* Viagra – Now your only worry will be motion control.
* Viagra – When you need to take it to the next level.
* Viagra – You can’t stop him. You can only hope to contain him.
* Viagra before the race. BodyGlide after.
* Viagra – Not for use during relays.
I was diagnosed with MS about 6 years ago and I am one of the lucky ones. I don't have too many problems associated with it, and the disease has actually slowed down. I took up running 4 years ago just to see if I could do it. So far I've run 4 marathons in 2 years and 12 half marathons.

Another hilarious post! The last advertising slogan could be potentially fatal if ignored; worse would be the 400 m hurdle.

I think that in the relay, they better make sure it’s the baton they are grabbing.
