Viagra given to Bolivian footballers to help them play at high altitude
The former physiotherapist of a football team in Bolivia says that he gave players Viagra to help them play at high altitude in La Paz.
Rodrigo Figueroa told La Prensa newspaper that he had prescribed Viagra, which oxygenates the blood, to at least nine players in his team.
The team from Santa Cruz, which is approximately 400m above sea level, were playing at La Paz, which is more than 3,500m above sea level - 3,100m higher.
However, the players were not aware that they had taken Viagra and Viagra is not apparently on the list of banned drugs.
"We prescribed it for several players, especially those who suffered most from altitude," said Mr Figueroa.
One wonders if they provided stiff opposition for their opponents.
