Sunday, 2 May 2021 Athlete empowerment, punishments for multiple doping violations, and age and term limits for Executive Board members are some of the points of contention among nations who have sent feedback on a draft Constitution to the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF). The document, drawn up by independent experts, will be voted on at a Constitutional Congress in two months. It is subject to change before the vote if points made in the feedback are approved as amendments. Both the amendments and the Constitution itself require a two-thirds majority to be passed. Mike Irani, the IWF Interim President who admits that weightlifting is "in turmoil" says that the governing body is "at a turning point" at the Congress.
