Drug testing at Gracie's

[Justin Brown]

Just received an email

For Gracie Nationals Only - As an adult competitor I understand that I might be tested for Performance Enhancing Drugs and this test will be conducted at the Event. Further Blood testing might be required within a month of the competition.

[Brent Smith]

That's crazy.

[Anthony Herrera]

Nooooooooo!!! I wonder if its cuz of us? And i asked in a different thread but does anyone know if they do this for the ADCC?

[Phill Schwartz]

I hope they dont test for the Heefer,

[Eddie Bravo]

We'll see if that really happens, I doubt it tremendously

[Chris Herzog]

Drug test are not cheap, I'm with Eddie, sounds like more of a deterrent.

[Daniel Valdez]

I think it is cool if they do it. they are doing right by notifying everyone. I wonder what they will do if they catch someone. Are they going to oust them in a publication? Ban them for life? Spread there name around the circuit or somthing? Interesting to me.

[James Worley]

If anyone actually does get tested I can only see the winners of black belt divisions getting tested. Again, that is a HUGE if.

[Enrique "Kiko"]

So what you're saying is, this kid might not be able to compete?
