The weight of an international body is crashing down on a transgender lifter.
After having a transgender competitor win an event earlier this month, the Canadian Powerlifting Union is facing an ultimatum from the International Powerlifting Federation to get in line.The IPF says that the CPU must align with the governing body’s rules on transgender competitors after seeing Anne Andres, a transgender female, crush her competition by more than 200 kilos in total at the 2023 Western Canadian Championship.
