The World Anti-Doping Agency will determine next year if Viagra, the erectile-dysfunction wonder drug, gives athletes a stiff advantage over their competitors.

Marywood University researchers should provide WADA officials with the results of a WADA-funded study by the end of the year, according to Kenneth Rundell, a respiratory researcher at the Scranton, Pa. school. A WADA committee will review the research this spring; WADA’s executive committee will determine at its September 2009 meeting if the erectile dysfunction drug should be added to its 2010 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods.

Marywood researchers received a $90,000 grant to look at how the drug helps athletes cope with air pollution, as well as its effect on increasing performance at mild altitude.
