And you thought this was about...
Viagra-fuelled Italian stallions seized by police
18 May 2005
ROME: Italian police have discovered a mob-linked race track where they say horses were pumped full of Viagra and other drugs to fix races.
The illegally built and operated track, known locally as "Miss Charmet", is located on the outskirts of Naples city – home to the Camorra, the local version of the Sicilian Mafia.
"We are able to ascertain the use of the famous (drug) Viagra to increase the performance of these horses," police commander Mario Pantano told local television.
It was not clear how Viagra affected the horses' speed.
The track and its horses, worth an estimated 5 million euros, (About $ 6 Million US) were seized by authorities investigating illegal doping of horses, according to local media.

The winning teams probably gave the Viagra to the other teams horses... who the hell wants to run a race with that on their mind!

i bet the Viagra helped improve blood circulation. it was orignially being developed as a vascular dialator if i remember right. it would have the blood vessels fully dialated allowing the oxygenated blood to the muscles that much faster.that or the erections acted like a wind splitter.
