IBJJF Updates Worlds 2013 & 2014 Results Adjusting for Anti Doping - Galvao, Mesquita and Barral are World Champions

According to IBJJF’s agreement with USADA and the anti-doping policy, IBJJF will accept sanctions determined by USADA:

In the event that a sanction results in a loss of title, the rule by IBJJF to follow in reassigning podium positions is listed below:

-The athlete that placed second (lost to the positive doping athlete) will be declared the 1^st place winner

-The athlete that placed third (lost to the positive doping athlete) will be declared the 2^nd place winner.

-The fourth place athlete, who lost due to the positive doping athlete in the quarter-final, will be moved up to 3^rd place.

– The athlete who lost in the semi-final against the “newly promoted first place athlete” will remain in the third place position.

By doing so, we will promote once, every athlete who lost due to the disqualified athlete. In turn this will give us a full standard IBJJF podium (1 first place, 1 second place, and 2 third place winners).
With that being said, the following IBJJF World Championship results are being modified:
