The Olympics--Tattoos And Viagra--Faster, Higher, Harder

Olympic cheats have come up with yet another way to enhance their performance at this years Olympics in Beijing:

Inserting drugs through tattoo needles increases the effect of drugs, meaning athletes can take smaller doses and "fly under the radar" in dope tests.

Research in Germany has shown that delivering DNA vaccines via tattoo was 16 times more effective than injecting through the muscles or veins as the vibrating tattoo needle prepares the body's immune system and increases the body's response to the drug.

And it doesn't end there, have a boo at another way athletes are getting *up* for the games:

Cheating athletes are also combining the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra with doses of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Both drugs increase the flow of oxygen in the blood stream and therefore boost sporting performance.

There is no sure-fire way to tell if an athlete is on performance enhancing drugs any more, however, I would say that if the Kenyan Women's Kayak team are sporting tramp stamps, the IOC may want to investigate that. If any male athlete is pole vaulting 22 feet, yet they don't actually have a pole for the vaulting, then I'd look into that too. If the hop, skip and jump looks more like the shoot-up, shake and seizure, the IOC might want to take a look into that. That's it, that's all I got.
