Apparently China might be banned from weightlfting for 12 months, according to IWF rules. Looks like IWF is trying, unlike some other federations...

 

Actually if they stand on their words, they have to ban Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and few more countries too. they all have more than 3 positive cases in 2008/2012 retesting.

 

imaging if they really ban all those powerhouse nations ! I still think IWF will find a way to let them compete. they weren't aware thatn even China is included when they made that rule.

Considering IOC last warnings regarding the future of the sport. I don't think they can take the easy way.

Yeah good point, but if they ban Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and maybe even Turkey who is left to compete ?

 

but yes they have to do something, most of these countries weightlifting federations are corrupt and they really deserve such ban. speaking of banned countries, my country should also be careful about that, we had a bad record in this even though things got much better in past few years but still ... !

I would prefer ban those countries anyway. Specially in non-Olympic season just to show this won't be tolerated. Although there are way more corrupted federations than this short list.  If there is no other way to send this message except by having a world championships were countries like Samoa or Solomon Islands will win all of the medals - so be it.

 

For example situation in Lithuanian federation is just horrible: son of the head coach tested positive for doping twice, leader of the national team already served 2 years ban,  every other lifter that wins a medal  (f.e. in European championships) all of the sudden gets injured and dissapear from sport for a year while coach cross him out from national team and that makes him no longer a subject for regular testing in Lithuanian anti-doping agency and etc...

Some news fromt the IOC Lima session:

In respect to weightlifting, the IWF must satisfy the IOC Executive Board by December 2017, that it has plans in place to satisfy the "serious incidence" of doping in the sport and ensure the integrity in this regard and the adminisitration of its member federations.

The IWF will also be monitored with concerns reported by the IOC and WADA...

Awful decision by European Weightlifting to move the European Weightlifting Chanpionships to late 2018 so that banned countries can take part! Makes a mockery of the ban, hope the IWF steps in and bans them from the 2018 European Championships whenever it is held in the year.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
