Ex-England cricketer Andrew Flintoff has revealed that taking Viagra once caused him to be run out.

Having last played for England in 2009, Flintoff is currently touring a stage show round the country and admitted to taking Viagra in the middle of a test match. Fifth Test: England v Australia - Day Four "It started with an article my ex sold to the News of the World," Flintoff told the Daily Mail. "It wasn’t very complimentary about my 'performance', if you get my meaning so I decided I had to put that myth to bed even though I was in the middle of a Test match," Flintoff explains. "I took three Viagra one night and didn’t realise how long they lasted. Trying to bat the next day in that state was not easy. I was run out, simply because I couldn’t move. I could only hop. It wasn’t worth it, either. Complete waste of time," he added.
