On Feb. 15, 2021, USA Powerlifting (USAPL) shared a press release stating that their appeal against the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) to recognize world-record lifts successfully hit at the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival (ASF) will move to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
In the press release, USAPL states that “the case is an appeal challenging the IPF’s decision not to recognize the world records earned by nine powerlifting athletes at the 2020 ASF.” The case has already made its way through both the IPF Court of Justice and the IPF Court of Appeals.
