I sincerely want somebody to inform me why PEDs are dangerous in BJJ. I don’t purchase the argument in MMA both, however no less than the “somebody may die from Superman punching them” argument evokes an emotional response. Medication that enable you to get better quicker and compete higher are only a pure development in trendy medication, the identical as an ACL restore or LASIK. Drug testing is invasive, costly, and pointless (additionally it doesn’t actually work). Don’t carry that charade to BJJ competitors.
