USA Powerlifting Takes the IPF to the Court of Arbitration for Sport

(Anchorage, Alaska) Today USA Powerlifting filed a case in the international Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF). The case is an appeal challenging the IPF’s decision not to recognize the World Records earned by [9] powerlifting athletes at the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival.

After pursuing our case for recognition of these World Records at the IPF Court of Justice and the IPF Court of Appeals, we now take this case to the highest court, the CAS.  

USA Powerlifting is committed to standing up for its athletes and that includes ensuring that their World Records are recognized.
