Yesterday, the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (http://www.graciejiujitsufabioleopoldo.com/site/) Federation (IBJJF (http://www.ibjjf.org/)) stated that as of March 20th, The first day of the Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship, athletes will start being tested for PED’s (Performance Enhancing Drugs). They later announced that only a draw of 10 random selections from the male and female medalists of the adult black belt category will be tested. The IBJJF has partnered up with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA (http://www.usantidoping.org/)) to help conduct these tests on athletes. This is a big commitment for the U.S. Jiu Jitsu Federation (USJJF (http://www.usbjjf.org/)) which will allow a clean, fair, and drug-free competition. This is very good news for some people and very bad news for others. Some have said that they expect to start seeing more people getting fatigued easier as well as a general decrease in the size of athletes. Others argue that this is what will help get Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (http://www.graciejiujitsufabioleopoldo.com/site/) into the Olympics, which requires PED testing on all athletes. Do you think this is a smart choice by the IBJJF?
Do you think there will be new faces on the podiums this year? Will current World Champions lose their titles?
