COMMITTED TO A DRUG FREE PLATFORM

Powerlifting America is unequivocally opposed, on ethical and medical grounds, to the practice of doping in sport and fully supports the position of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) against the use of banned substances and methods.

The use, possession and/or trafficking of banned substances, methods, or the encouragement or counseling to use banned substances, or methods, and/or taking measures to mask the use of banned substances, or methods by any participant in competitions over which Powerlifting America has jurisdiction is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

In engaging the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to conduct doping control at all Powerlifting America competitions, Powerlifting America has taken the important step to externalize the anti-doping system to an independent organization. To ensure complete independence and provide the highest level of protection for the rights of clean athletes, USADA is wholly responsible for the selection of athletes both in competition and out of competition, collection of samples, sample analysis, sample results management, and, when necessary, the adjudication of any positive test results from the tests executed.

Given USADA’s internationally recognized expertise in anti-doping, Powerlifting America has agreed to adhere to the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing (“USADA Protocol”), consistent with the WADA Code, for the management of samples collected in competition and out of competition.
