Member 3714, 637 posts SQ 265, BP 177.5, DL 265707.5 kgs @ 97kgs Eq | 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. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3207 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | newhybrid said:so my thinking was correct yes? 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? | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | You do need to pay attention to who else is lifting, though. | ||

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