WTH! Football Players To Take Viagra Before Game?

It is already known that the ongoing FIFA World Cup has started to grab the attention of sports lovers globally, and there is something strange that is happening with the tournament currently.

Now the latest development are suggesting that England players could be handed over Viagra tablets before their upcoming game against Mexico, and there is a medical reason behind this as well.

The upcoming Round of 16 match against Mexico takes place at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, which sits at a grueling 7,350 feet above sea level.

Because the English squad has been training at a much lower altitude base in Kansas City, they will not have enough time to fully acclimatize to the thin mountain air.

So they are being provided with the medical practice of taking the Viagra tablets, which will apparently help their blood circulation and ease the fatigue in the mountains. This is a suggestion that has been made to the England team on medical grounds and there is nothing beyond that.

While it remains highly unlikely that manager Thomas Tuchel will mandate Viagra use across the entire starting eleven, England's medical staff has made the medication available for any individual player struggling with the mountain conditions.

It should be extremely interesting to watch these football players in action after taking these Viagra tablets, which is coming with a medical purpose, but this is an interesting decision nonetheless.
