World Powerlifting is committed to curbing doping in Powerlifting. To achieve that we are compliant with the universally accepted WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) system. World Powerlifting has Anti-Doping Rules, consistent with WADA’s Code, which apply to all member federations and WP participating individuals. World Powerlifting implements a programme following WADA Standards as to testing processes, laboratories, sanctioning and the like. Key to that programme is the WADA Prohibited List of substances and methods. Understand the World Powerlifting anti-doping system via the below documents and at wada-ama.org.
World Powerlifting maintains a system of drug-testing that is compliant with WADA’s International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI). This involves the testing of athletes at major events and out-of-competition around the world and test results are maintained in a perpetual database. Highly ranked athletes must provide ongoing Whereabouts details, so as to ensure their availability for anytime testing. Suspensions are applied as sanctions in the case of Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) and current sanctions are publicly displayed.
