Cialis and Viagra

[alwaysfirst]

Might be a stupid question but can you fail a steroid test with Cialis or Viagra?

Not a steroid test. They're not steroids. Some other drug screen (inc. NCAA or whatever) possibly, check the banned substance list of your association/fed. If it's on there, there's a chance it's tested for.

Ok, I heard some cyclists got caught using it when they raced but haven't figured out if it's actually something that's banned or not ?

Thanks!

It's an RC. Sorta a grey area. Banned by many organizations but I'm sure there's some that don't

I'm not sure why a cyclist would use it. The stuff dilates my blood vessels. The result is I can't get my heart rate up, I can't get my blood pressure up. When I'm on the bike with this stuff I can't do squat, I can't keep up with people that normally can't keep up with me. It seriously drops my performance!!

I have never understood it myself because it does make me feel relaxed, but people swear by it.

It's a nitrate, essentially, which does help with performance. Dilating blood vessels means more oxygen flow and more nutrients.

It's probably one of the best blood pressure medicines u could use and for folks taking an assortment of other drugs, such as EQ, it becomes a very safe and effective protocol.

Right, which is odd that I can't take it because it makes me unmotivated. I have a home BP device and have noted up to a 16pt drop after taking only 5mg.

Weird, I have friend that says that his cardio gets a lot better after taking a Cialis the night before..?

I agree with what you said, but when it dilates my blood vessels, I cannot get my heart rate up no matter how hard I try. I'm talking 30 beats and more less than what I usually get on hard efforts, climbing mountains, for example. When that happens, I don't get enough blood and oxygen to my muscle. Maybe its just me. It also makes me very tired when I'm on the bike. It doesn't seem to hurt me lifting.
