    She tested positive for a drug that increases natural testerone production in men but acts as a fertility drug for women. What she's getting punished for, didn't affect her performance.

    Ever see that photo of her in a bikini? She's ripped and looks like someone who was taking roids. People of either gender at that size usually aren't shredded like that.

    im not saying that she did or didnt or even if it was specifically for jits or not but implying she did because she looks ripped? you mean a top athlete looking ripped? doesnt she cut weight as well? some people can just have a low body fat percentage. im just saying that going on looks is a terrible argument

    I dunno it doesn't seem that big an issue to me. It doesn't make your technique any better.

    We need to test people at the world level. There is an abundance of "cheaters" in our sport. The reason it hasn't been made too big a deal out of it yet is because our sport technique can overcome physical deficits. But the sport is evolving and growing. and when skills are equal... Well, PED's could be the difference. I say keep our sport honest. I hate seeing a guy that clearly a walking pharmacy competing and winning with superior athleticism. That's not jiujitsu..

    Pretty common excuse. Most people blame their supplements.

    Its is almost impossible to believe that she was taking Clomifene for its intended on or off label uses (fertility drug in womens/treats hypogonadism in men)

    Id love to know how it was not her fault?

    Jits may be about technique but training harder and more often with the help of peds and being stronger is a considerable advantage.
