I saw the IBJJF Pan Ams USADA flyer

Comically, it's taking place during the first day of the only group who's tested (black belt adult). Saw this lonesome lil' guy in the stairwell down to the warm up area. Then I was treated to watching some Teens and masters divisions...suspiciously some Teens looking comically ripped compared to just a year ago. High school sports is as a whole in America untested (something like three states have anything resembling a testing program) and the piss test cannot actually be supervised due to their status as minors et cetera. Even when it was in Texes with a multi million dollar program, 60 kids opted to not take the test. Nothing to see there. With several thousand competitors at he Pans, simple math is if you test 10 athletes (black adult belt divisions) out of even just 1000, you're only testing .01. 
Pans will end up having something like several thousand total by the time it's all said and done. In a sport where the only testing is one day per year and entire divisions are completely untested....I mean, c'mon, is it all hard work and Jesus?
