190 kg in snatch for Fernando. Good enough for gold at the Pan Ams, but not enough for an Olympic medal. Let's see how he does in clean and jerk now.

So I decided to give this report the headline that would be most helpful to the IWF.

I went for:

"IWF not accused of killing cute little puppies to make fur coats for billionaires"

Because they're accused of almost everything else...

Read it in full. Its worth reading not very long (apart from the appendixes and summary its about 35 pgs)

The e-mails quoted verbatim are pure gold!
