I think this was an April fool's joke...

Don‘ t know what happened?!🤔😬

I just realized that! 😂😂😂 I just got gotten!!! 😂😂😂

I've been super paranoid all day so I was ready for it. Haha.

It should be real though.

I mean, they never test anybody in the masters division anyway, let alone the first place people. Might as well just do whatever tf you want. Kinda makes the joke less funny when it's real. Lol.

I saw this and thought "you got to be shitting me, especially, after those recent bans." Took me a second to realize the reliable source had got gotten. Hahaha.

Ah, I sometimes hate this day. Lol.

Poor exclamation mark button on your keyboard, it's already being hammerred on a daily basis and now it had to take an extra beating because it's April 1st 😂

If you read the article, it's very clearly April Fools tomfoolery.

"Jiu-Jitsu Times reached out to IBJJF President Carlos Gracie Jr. for comment

“We initially wanted to increase the level of professionalism in the sport, but we realized that a substantial portion of our clientele uses performance-enhancing drugs. The smart ones are able to cycle off before competition to test clean, so why should the others be punished?”

Why indeed.

Throughout the history of the sport there have been many self-contradictions, talk of honor and religion among rapists and those who support them, talk of curbing ego among fragile men with overactive egos… And talk of size and strength being non-factors among large, strong men who take enough steroids to make them melt a piss cup. It only stands to reason that the ban be lifted.

Carlos continued with his reasoning

“ADCC doesn’t test, Who’s Number One and other pro organizations don’t test, why should we carry this burden? Who among us hasn’t taken a bit of bomba? Jesus himself said ‘he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.”

As problematic as this end of prohibition may be, it is also potentially exciting news. Now athletes will be able to take as many different performance-enhancing drugs as they want up until the moment they step on the mat. We may witness heart attacks in the heat of competition for those who do poorly or take a tainted batch. We may see Lucas “Hulk” Barbosa turn green and tear through his clothes."

Damn it! I was about to visit my local veterinarian. :(

The exclamation mark is to blame! 100%! HAHAHAHAHA

I was about to make my way back down to Mexico again!

I found an actual picture of your keyboard

All I needed was to see it was from Emil to know it was an april fools joke lol.
