IPF - IOC Meeting in Lausanne

Category: World

On Monday 12. November, the IPF Secretary General Emanuel Scheiber and representatives from the IOC had a meeting in Lausanne (SUI) regarding the IPF application for IOC recognition.

The IOC representatives were very impressed about the very complete and well done application. They pointed out the improvement since the last application 2006 and the great work in Anti Doping and Media (live streaming, magazine) matters. Another very positive effect is the cooperation with the Special Olympics and the IBSA.

During the meeting the Mr. Wassmer from the IOC described Mr. Scheiber the procedure until the final announcement of the recognition. Mr. Mollard and Mrs. McConnell did ask some details regarding media work, development efforts in the regions, preparations regarding the World Games 2013,...

The conclusion of the meeting was that the IPF has to finalize some additional paperwork but the IPF is on the right way and all participants of the meeting agreed that the IPF is ready for this big step - the IOC recognition.

:clap: Bravo

even if powerlifting gets in I doubt it will attract any more if not less interest from the powerlifting community. Just like basketball and boxing. anything olympic is just never as good as the over commercialized leagues. I still hope it happens. bring on the drug scandals :grin:

There is an untested federation now in nz called capo any drug users who compete in nzpf under drug tested conditions are just selfish.

LOL, simply not true. but what is funny is that snoopster is still competing in a 'clean' fed, and they are aware of it LOL. Kinda defeats the whole idea that a level playing feild is being upheld.

he even was allowed to compete as a novice LOL, though i wont go into this as i dont wanna start a fed bashing war.

peace out yo. 8)

What's not true?

The nzpf can't stop someone from competing without proof of drug use, you prove drug use by a drug test. self confession on a forum isnt realky suffiecient, he could just say he was talking shit which innhis case is true. Otherwise it's just discrimination and ppl could be accused and banned on assumptions instead of actual evidence.

It's not the nzpf's fault it's the individual that needs to take responsibility.

Fair points Tom. If Snoopy were to register with the NZPF and then get drug tested and failed, he'd be gone. Lifting as a novice with no drug testing, on what grounds are there to exclude him...?

I do get the point your making SFS, and somewhat agree. But as a novice he's not really doing any harm, if he were to register it then becomes a different story.

well, one would think that after it was recognised by barbrother that he was as natty as natty can be, when he appeared in the lifters list the people running the comp would alert DFSNZ - so he would be tested? at least thats what would happen if they were really serious about 'cleaning up the sport'.

i say go for gold snoopster, hes called the bluff and is openly making a mockery of testing being effective. If one didnt know better one might thik they just needed his subs lol

this is why i disagree with the sentiment that only people on drugs lift CAPO - the nzpf isnt all clean, and CAPO isnt all drug users. so why pretend that it is the case? no different to strongman etc, being untested doesnt mean theyre all pinning their glutes full of tren lol.

also CAPO does have a tested division, which will eventually be initiated in NZ, as an aside. haters gon hate, jimmiees gonna rustle lol

I thought novices had to register after one meet? It used to be 3 comps then it changed to one... Is that correct?

bang on.

also hes previously been registered, so wouldnt be able to compete as a novice..... if they were enforcing their own rules.

i guess thats what im getting at phedder, alot of people bagging capo need to look in their own backyards when it comes to practicing what they preach. 8)

ftr: good on IPF, i actually do hope they get pl to the olympics. it would be good for PL as a whole, and probly strengthen the RAW trend.

Who is going to fund capos drug testing program lol.

Any kind of worthwhile, fair and consistent drug testing program would ruin them financially in nz. Why bother..

No one is alluding to capo being a drug users fed and nzpf being a naturals fed. All I was saying is there was a demand for an untested federation and that's what capo is... Interpret that however you like.

It didnt go unoticed SFS when Snoopy turned up to lift. If he was a former member of the APA/NZPF then yes, the one novice comp rule should have applied and he should not not have been allowed to lift unless he had rejoined. It may have been an oversight on those that were organising the comp but be assured it probably wont happen again.

NZ DrugFree dont test novice lifters in the NZPF, never have and never will. However, everything changes once you join as you sign an acknowledgement and agreement form concerning sports antidoping rules...you should know this already or do you? As Tom mentioned earlier on this thread, CAPONZ provides an alternative for those that may not meet the "supplementary" rulings that the NZPF set in place. (but that being said, CAPONZ also provide a tested option as well - as stated by yourself)

As for the Fed Bashing comment, I wont get caught up in that stuff although I will say bro that you do a pretty good job at baiting for an arguement. There is always someone out there that will bite and to be honest, all the NZPF vs CAPONZ stuff is just getting old. I think if we all spent more time lifting tin in the gym instead of doing finger pressups on the keyboard they'd be less B/S on this forum. I like to think that we could leave NZPF and CAPONZ to get on with their own thing without all the bravado...this maybe wishful thinking on my behalf.

Back on the subject why this thread was started...I've always felt that Powerlifting wont make it through to the Olympics in our lifetime but hey, the way the IOC are accepting sports like golf and rugby...anything is possible. The promotion and growing interest of RAW lifting in the IPF is a big thing and this may fast forward things...I doubt though. As long as weightlifting is there, powerlifting wont have a chance BUT I hope Im proven wrong.

Was gonna jump in on off topic Fed thread but probs get comments edited by the CAPO mods in 3..2..1

I'll happily admit I was the one who edited your last cheap shot at CAPO. Discussions are always welcome, unnecessary digs for no reason are not.

also hes previously been registered, so wouldnt be able to compete as a novice..... if they were enforcing their own rules.

Interesting, he's definitely been registered, not just competed in a few novice comps before the rule change? Did the rule change allow those who had previously competed to still have their 1 comp before being required to register? If he was indeed registered previously, and has used up his allowed novice competitions and still allowed to compete as a novice that should be looked into. ThreeWhiteLights, can you confirm or deny this?

I think if we all spent more time lifting tin in the gym instead of doing finger pressups on the keyboard they'd be less B/S on this forum.

:clap:

ThreeWhiteLights, we log every mod edit that gets made, so if you ever feel you've been unfairly edited by a moderator, you're welcome to bring it to my attention. I select my mods primarily because I think they are fair and impartial - and if they're ever not, I want to know! :)

It was a novice comp so there is no lifter list apart from who turns up on Te day. I was the one who was signing people up and as soon as I saw him I asked the secretary to deny him entry and I was told we were unable to refuse entry. It took a lot I my self control not to do other things after the stuff that was said in here. The guy is a moron and we all know it. We do take drug seriously and I don't think there is an powelifrter in the nzpf who is abusing the dfnz policy to my knowledge. Things should be changing soon to give associations the powers to deny entry in the future
