IPF News:
WADA; "Specified Substance Clause"-
As per WADA code "the prohibited list may identify specified substances which
are particularly susceptible to unintentional anti-doping rule violations
because of their general availability in medicinal products or which are less
likely to be successfully abused as doping agents. A doping violation
involving such substances MAY result in a reduced sanction provided that the
athlete can establish that the use of such a specified substance was not
intended to enhance sport performance."
What this means is that WADA now recognizes the possibility for a lifter to
ingest a very low amount of a banned substance unintentionally and without
significant performance enhancement. This is a great step forward in rational
anti-doping policy.
In recent years, we have had several cases in IPF where a medicine was given emergently without Therapeutic Use Exemption, which was otherwise needed. The IPF Medical Committee will continue to provide emergency TUE approval for appropriate medicines when needed. The specified substance clause addresses a different situation...,
Ultimately, every athlete is responsible for what he or she puts into the
body. This new clause addresses unintentional use of lower risk banned
substances. It cannot be stated too often or too clearly: make sure you know
what you are taking. Declare all medicines and supplements to your coach and
physician. Contact the IPF Medical Committee before taking a medicine/product
if you are uncertain.

USAPL News:
Recap; NGB Meeting- Rick Fowler submits the following report from the NGB meeting which was held in Killeen, TX on June 12;
Knee sleeves allowed will stay the same. The upcoming Raw Nationals seemed to be part of the rationale since lifters would be setting records wearing the type made of knee wrap material. Removing them would make it tougher to eclipse those records. Bill reported that this was a pretty hotly debated topic. Vote was close, 14-14 I think, with Larry choosing to keep things as is. Good call in my book.
Sponsor logos will be allowed. I don't know the specifics to this one, but it was voted to allow logos of sponsors, possibly to your shirt or gear, in an effort to attract business to sponsor lifters. Before you start ironing logos on your gear, wait for the exact wording on this.
Executive members voted were Bettina (who returns for who knows how many this makes for her), and Greg Page. Great picks. Can't go wrong with these two.
The 2010 Mens Open, Teen and Junior Nationals will be in Palm Springs, CA ran by the Ultra-Professional Lance Slaughter.
2009 Raw Nationals and 2010 Benchpress Nationals will be ran by John Shifflett in Charlottesville, VA
2010 Raw Nationals will be ran by Dan & Jennifer Gaudreau in Denver.
The Police & Fire Nationals was voted to be included with the American Open, which means this year it will be in St. Louis, MO in December. Great news as I would hate to see this shrinking event fall by the wayside.
Coach of the Year was awarded to Joe Lewis of Neenah, WI
The Brother Bennett Award was awarded to Joe Marksteiner. You will not find a better guy for powerlifting than Joe.
Raw Nationals; Mixed Gender Teams- Harold Gaines announces the following concerning scoring of mixed gender teams at the first Raw Nationals;
After much discussion we have arrived at some firm rules for teams of mixed gender at the Raw Nationals. The rules may be changed for future Raw National meets but that will be decided by the Raw Committee, and the NGB per exsisting voting methods.
A quick thanks to Madvig for suggestioning mixed gender teams and to Angela Simmons for driving us to the answers we needed.
Below is a list of rules we will follow this year:
A Mixed Gender team shall consist of no more than 12 lifters with no more than 2 lifters in each weight class.
A Mixed Gender team shall consist of a minimum of 2 female and 1 male lifters.
Team members may be in any division (i.e Master, Teen, Jr, etc), or in multiple divisions, but must declare when the team roster is turned in which division will count for team points.
Point scoring shall be: 12, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, for the first 9 placing in any bodyweight category. Thereafter, each lifter who makes a total in the competition shall be awarded one point.
All teams will be given awards. In the case of a tie, the team having the largest number of first places will be ranked first. In the case of a tie between two teams having the same number of first places, the one having the most second places will be classified first, and so on through the placings.
USPF News:
Update; Multi Nationals- Ted Isabella posts the following concerning loding for the upcoming Multi Nationals;
For those of you who have not reserved a room for the USPF Nationals or if a friend/family members need a room, the Sheraton is sold out. If you wish to reserve a room now, you must go to the Sheraton's sister hotel next door, the Comfort Inn. The Comfort Inn will match the room rate I have at the Sheraton. You must tell them you are with the USPF Multi-National group to get the discount. The phone number is 401-732-0470. Make sure you get this done ASAP.
