NFL players using Viagra to help on field “performance”

Well this is a new one..after Seattle Seahawks CB Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman were suspended for testing positive for adderall, Chicago Bears WR alluded that players also abuse Viagra to help with their on-field performance. In 2012, there have been 21 suspensions because of failed tests for performance-enhancing drugs, including amphetamines like Adderall, a 75 percent increase compared to the 12 suspensions in 2011

Marshall’s teammate Lance Briggs elaborated, “It is such a competitive league, guys try anything just to get that edge,” Marshall said. “I’m fortunate enough to be blessed with size and some smarts to give me my edge.

So, you know, it’s kind of scary with some of these chemicals that are in some of these things. … Anytime you take anything over the counter — if you don’t approve it with your training room, you can get popped that quick. You know, it doesn’t matter if it’s Dayquil, Nyquil, any type of cough medicine. Even Hall’s.”
