England eyes Viagra to boost performance at Mexico altitude

The 2,200‑meter altitude of Estadio Azteca challenges players with reduced oxygen and quicker fatigue. England's coaching staff notes that sildenafil can dilate blood vessels, potentially improving oxygen uptake.

While the drug is not on the 2026 WADA prohibited list, its medical and ethical implications are being debated. No official statement confirms that any player will take it.
