Racetrack ban after Viagra gets greyhounds going
The mechanical hares of Ireland will rest easier this morning following news that Irish greyhound authorities have banned trainers from administering Viagra to their dogs.
<snip>
John Garrahy, regulations manager at Bord na gCon, which oversees the sport in the Irish Republic, confirmed the drug had been banned. "I don't think this drug is a problem in the industry. We've had no positive tests and our drug-testing regime is pretty comprehensive." He added that it was thought Viagra might give racing dogs "an extra yard".
