Chad Johnson Admits To Taking Viagra Before Every Game Throughout NFL Career
While you hear stories of sports players taking steroids or other miscellaneous drugs to better their performance, Chad Johnson admits that his own secret weapon was taking Viagra (an erectile dysfunction drug) before every game throughout his NFL career.
Taking to Twitter, Johnson shared, “I took viagra before every game & people thought they’d stop me, if my stat line was bad i wasn’t covered, the pass was just incomplete 💭.” When a fan asked, “Why Viagra,” he responded, “NFL tests for steroids, how you gone stop me running on 3 legs every Sunday, no hat 🧢.”

Additionally, if you need more scientific backing of what benefits having an erect penis does for one playing football, several studies show “Viagra can increase muscle production by letting the athlete use less oxygen than typically needed to output energy.” The drug increases endurance and prolongs maximum speed.
While we may never 100% know if the ritual Viagra doses truly enhanced his performance on the field, the revelation makes for an interesting anecdote.
