The International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) is renewing its commitment to fair play in the strongest terms by forging a partnership with the US Anti-doping Agency (USADA). This year at the 2015 IBJJF Worlds 2015, USADA will be in-charge of the event’s drug testing for the competitors.
The four-day athletic meet at the California State University in beautiful Long Beach, California is expected to draw the best in the sport from all over the world. Stricter drug testing is meant to ensure that only those who deserve the titles will be crowned as victors. Violations may be punished with disqualification and other penalties as deemed appropriate by the governing bodies.
USADA will conduct random blood and urine testing of elite athletes to find traces of banned substances on the prohibited list by the World Anti-doping Agency. They will also be in-charge of results management and athlete education. Should any violation be found, the USADA Protocol will be used in the adjudication.
It should be emphasized that USADA is an independent organization. All questions and concerns regarding the drug tests should be addressed to them directly, including requests for exemptions due to necessary medication. For more information, please visit their official site at USADA.org.
