Olympian1010 7,470 Posted October 15, 2020 #128 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Should be noted that his own national federation is calling for his removal from the IWF Executive Board, so it seems unlikely he’ll hold the position (unless something has changed).

MHSN 3,148 Posted November 19, 2020 #129 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Here I see two new Vietnamese weightlifters being added to the suspended list https://www.iwf.net/anti-doping/sanctions/ there is another guy TRINH Van Vinh in 2018. from what I googled he tested positive on November 2018 after the start of the qualification period. if I'm not wrong 3 dopers during the qualification period means being banned from the Olympics. they already banned Egypt, Thailand and Malaysia because of this rule. is Vietnam next or I missed something ? Colombia and Romania also have open cases (to make it 3 or more), if confirms, they will be banned too. meanwhile IWF updates the list of ADRVs (from 2008 to 2020) Romania now has 20 and will be reduced to 1 male and 1 female (of course if IWF doesn't ban the nation entirely) NOCs limited to 1 male and 1 female NOCs limited to 2 males and 2 females no need to say that some NOCs in the list are banned completely, but IWF still keeps them in the list. phelps, dcro and Gianlu33 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,770 Posted November 19, 2020 #130 Share Posted November 19, 2020 to say that IWF is making a mess of its sport it's an obvious understatement, actually a big euphemism... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
