Mile high performance

As if sponsored by the Mile High Club itself, a study published in the Journal of Exercise Physiology revealed that taking Viagra can increase physical performance at altitude.

The drug was found to improve cardiovascular capacity during exercise performed at high elevation, but not at sea level. Because of its ability to enhance blood flow and oxygen saturation, Viagra apparently helped restore normal exercise capacity in those affected by a rise in altitude.

Be this as it may, don't expect to see players on the Denver Broncos popping Viagra on the sidelines next season. The study pointed out that while many test subjects did respond to the drug in the manner discussed, a fair amount did not respond at all.
