Source: Clemens took Viagra
He told little white lies ... and he took little blue pills. Roger Clemens, whose claims he never took steroids are under federal investigation, has apparently discovered the benefits of another performance-enhancing drug sweeping the sports world - Viagra. Clemens stashed the clearly marked, diamond-shaped pills in a GNC vitamin bottle in his locker at Yankee Stadium, according to a source familiar with the clubhouse, perhaps keeping the drug undercover to avoid the inevitable wisecracks about all the girlfriends he needed to please. Clemens wasn't alone. The pitcher, who is believed to have scored the drug from a teammate, joined the burgeoning number of athletes who have turned Vitamin V and its over-the-counter substitutes into one of the hottest drugs in locker rooms. The drug is so widely used for off-label purposes that it has drawn the attention of anti-doping officials and law-enforcement agencies in the United States and beyond.

At this point who cares? Viagra has basically become a recreational drug at this point. (no pun intended). I'm not at the point where I need it but I wouldn't fault anyone for using it. I don't like Clemens one bit, but now it just seems like the media is piling on.

oh, that's just TOOOOO funny! I'm one of those who doesn't give a crap about Clemens. It looks like his Teflon exterior is taking some hits....while he's taking hits of Viagra.
I guess that the use of Viagra by Baseball players will give a whole new meaning to the term "Batter Up!"

Lallybone,
This is the media for you. When they love you, you can make wine out of water (Lance Armstrong), but when they turn on you (Roger Clemens), they make you responsible for every natural disaster in the past 25 years. Roger brought a lot of this on himself, but people gotta calm down.
