England Considers Viagra to Counter Altitude in Mexico World Cup Match

Ahead of the 2026 World Cup encounter in Mexico City, England is assessing how reduced oxygen at the 2,200‑metre‑high Estadio Azteca could impact player stamina. Since Viagra is not listed as a prohibited substance by the World Anti‑Doping Agency, it remains a legal option for the team.

Medical experts suggest that sildenafil may improve blood flow, potentially offsetting altitude‑related fatigue. The decision, however, remains under tactical review and has not been confirmed.
