If I were an expert on this, it wouldn't be "obvious bullshit", but discussing facts.

I still can't see how all this is mutually exclusive with the event. You wrote yourself that there
were consequences. What would have happened if the effects were more unusual than just high testosterone?
Still, I should rename this from "MMA" to "boxing". At least I've seen some boxing in my life, as opposed to MMA. (The event wasn't written by me.) Pity it came up a moment before release, so I'm not doing this now, due to translations.
And so, without further ado, I'm
really happy to announce that
version 2.8 has been released.
