The successful IWF World Anti-Doping Conference showed that even after 34 years of unrelenting fight against doping, the IWF shall keep up with its program and inform its NFs more frequently on the applicable rules.
According to WADA’s fundamental set of rules harmonizing the global fight against doping in sport, the IWF is fully compliant to the World Anti-Doping Code. The 4 years sanction for first violation of the IWF Anti-Doping Policy, under specific sanctions, is valid and binding for all athletes participating on weightlifting events around the world.
