‘They Risk To Be Suspended’: Powerlifting Body Issues Ultimatum About Trans Powerlifters | The Daily Wire
The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) issued an ultimatum to the Canadian Powerlifting Union (CPU) warning the union to abide by its rules regarding men competing against women — which could mean a transgender powerlifter could be banned from the sport.
IPF President Gaston Parage told The Daily Mail that his organization issued the ultimatum on Monday, pointing out that IPF rules state “no lifter should have an unfair and disproportionate advantage over another athlete.”
“It is important to do that because we worked out the transgender policy we wanted to make sure that we don’t discriminate against women,” Parage declared. “It is needed to have such a policy to make sure if a transgender competes, that it is fair to the women. That is how we worked out the transgender policy.”
