Former English cricketer Andrew Flintoff has revealed a hilarious moment when Viagra hampered his performance on the cricket pitch.

Flintoff said he was once run out in Test match because he couldn't move properly after taking three Viagra pills the night before.

“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.

“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.”
