WikiLeaks, the Saudi King and Viagra

  • 12 years ago
A classified U.S. State department document published by WikiLeaks earlier this week revealed tha Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah was using Viagra pills at the age of 92. The document was a cable sent from the American embassy in Riyadh in 2008 and stated the king was apparently ten years older than previously assumed. The cable was based on information by a Western medical source who was in contact with the Saudi royal family and treated one of his four wives and received the king's medical file by mistake. The cable said the king was born in 1916 and was 92 at the time and was a heavy smoker, received regular hormone shots and was using Viagra.
