am i correct in thinking that you can not represent Great Britain in the IPF if you lift internationally in another federation?
however its ok to lift in other feds at local/regional/qualifier level?
many thanks.

14.9.1 Notwithstanding article 14.9 the lifter, coach or official may participate in multi-sport international games, e.g. the Commonwealth Games, the University Games, or the Students’ international or regional multi-sport games that is not sanctioned by the IPF, however provided that there is not any athlete or other person participating in such games in any capacity who is serving his/her Ineligibility period for a doping

it's quite a confusing text. but i'd assume 'approved' means under the auspices of IOC/WADA
so obviously GPC is out. BDPFA not sure - their doping violation rules differ from WADA 4 year thing (i.e. more severe - life ban)

Yes, you are correct.

You can lift wherever you like, for whatever federation / organisation / gym comp you like (tested or untested) up to and including national level without making yourself ineligible for international competition with the IPF.

If you lift internationally for any other federation / organisation (tested or untested) then you cannot be selected for IPF international competition for a period of 12 months starting from the date when you did the offending comp.

Simples eh?

You do need to pay attention to who else is lifting, though. Happy

Would attending an Ed Coan seminar be viewed as international competition? Confused
