Comprido fala no uso de anabolizantes no JIU JITSU - Comprido talks about steroid in BJJ

PORTUGUES ABAIXO

Two times World Absolute Champion Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros sent this open letter to all:

"I am proud to say that I conquered the most important title in BJJ, the Absolute in the Mundial twice and to own the record of fastest submission in a Black Belt final. I conquered all those titles without steroids. In the 2000 Mundial , minutes before I was to fight one of the most difficult matches of my life, I had to assist in removing an athlete from the competition area. Unfortunately that athlete died inside the stadium due to an overdose of steroids.

2000 Worlds Steroid death

I am reaching out because there seems to be a pact of silence between the Federation, the competitors and especially the press, who ultimately has the obligation to denounce these irregularities. “It is well known the use of steroids by athletes of various teams. And in may cases by Champions of our sport, I am not going to name names because I’ve not personally witnessed anyone taking them, however it is pretty noticeable the extremely rapid gain of muscle mass and abnormal reduction of fat percentage by some athletes.”

An athlete using steroids gains more than just physical benefits, they also have technical gains, because they can train 4 times a day and still feel well, while an athlete that is clean trains twice a day and needs to rest to recover naturally. The majority of athletes also have other duties such as being instructors and as such we have to preserve the values like: “Loyalty, honesty and the spirit of sports fairness”.

We know that is no sport steroids are tolerated and in many Countries it is even a crime to use them except for strict health issues. Of course this is not the first generation to use this type of drug, but it is time we face this issue with seriousness it deserves and we need to set the example for others to come.

I want to make it very clear that in my opinion ANYONE THAT USES ANABOLIC STEROIDS TO BETTER THEIR PERFORMANCE IS CHEATING AND DO NOT GAIN ANY GLORY WITH THEIR CONQUESTS."

Thanks for your time

Sincerely,

Rodrigo Comprido Medeiros

 

CARTA ABERTA ENVIADA POR RODRIGO COMPRIDO MEDEIROS

Carta aberta a todos os praticantes de BJJ – DOPING no JIU JITSU

 
Tenho orgulho de poder dizer que conquistei o titulo mais importante do BJJ  o Mundial Absoluto duas vezes e de ter o recorde de finalização mais rápida em uma final de Faixa Preta. Conquistei todos os meus títulos sem Anabolizantes.


No Mundial do Ano de 2000, alguns minutos antes da luta mais difícil da minha vida, tive que ajudar a remover um atleta da área de luta. Infelizmente, ele veio a falecer dentro do ginásio por causa de uma overdose de Anabolizantes.
Estou abordando este assunto, pois parece que existe um pacto de silencio entre a Confederação, Atletas, e principalmente a Mídia especializada, que tem a obrigação de denunciar as irregularidades. `E notório o uso de Esteróides por atletas de varias equipes, e em muitos casos, pelos Campeões de nosso esporte.

 

Não vou citar nomes, pois não vi ninguém usando essas drogas, mas `e gritante o aumento super rápido de massa muscular e a diminuição anormal do perceptual de gordura de alguns atletas.
Um atleta que utiliza Esteróides alem da vantagem física, tem um ganho técnico, pois conseguem treinar 4 vezes por dia e se sentir bem, enquanto, um atleta que não usa esses Esteróides, treina 2 vezes por dia e precisa de descanso para se recuperar naturalmente.
A maioria dos atletas também acumulam o trabalho de professor e como tais, devemos preservar valores como: Lealdade, Honestidade e Espírito Esportivo.
Sabemos que em nenhum esporte `e tolerado o uso de Anabolizantes e que em muitos países `e crime utilizá-los  a não ser por motivos de saúde.
`E claro que esta não `e a primeira geração de lutadores que utiliza esta droga . Mas já `e hora de abordarmos o tema com mais seriedade e de darmos o exemplo.
Que fique bem claro que QUEM USA ANABOLIZANTES PARA MELHORAR A PERFORMANCE, ESTA TRAPACEANDO E NAO OBTEM NENHUMA GLORIA EM SUAS CONQUISTAS.
Obrigado pela atencao,
Atenciosamente,
Rodrigo “Comprido” Medeiros.

Athens

 

Every year, black belt Felipe Costa promotes a a very popular training camp.

 

Until this year, it was based in Buzios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

 

But in 2011, he decided to gather his participants just 30 minutes from Athens, Greece.

 

The camp is scheduled to start September 10th.

 

Here is what he says about the location: “It allows us to keep the successful program we had in Buzios. Located 30 minutes from Athens, something that will allow us to do the sightseeing and still be steps away from the beach.”
