Does Viagra gives athletes an advantage?Lots of people believe that Viagra can be used on athletes. However, the new research shows that the effects of Viagra are not apparent for them.

I had heard about the news of Viagra several months ago. I thought the reason of taking advantage of Viagra persuaded me when I first knew it. Viagra can increase oxygen-carrying capacity of blood vessels. Therefore, the muscles of athletes’ can enhance endurance because of the more efficient transport of oxygen. Not only me but also a lot of people athletes trust the amazing effects after taking Viagra. However, the study brings the different point of view to us.

The research reveals that the performance of athletes did not significantly boost a lot. The real reason of gaining better performance than before is the mental change of them! I was surprised at this truth. The athletes want to improve themselves by all means, such as the unit in our English class mentioned about, StrMotion. I guess the athletes who believe in Viagra would disappoint because they lose a chance to improve themselves. Viagra also lose its status on sports, but it is no doubt that Viagra is still an unbeatable medicine in the bedroom.(200 words)
