The International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive board on Friday has announced that weightlifting will be reinstated for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
On Friday, the IOC's executive board recommended its inclusion in the sports program for 2028.'The IOC EB recommends its inclusion on the LA28 sports program following the decision by the International Weightlifting Federation to delegate its anti-doping management to the International Testing Agency and its sanctioning to the Court of Arbitration for Sport at least until the end of 2028,' the Olympic committee said in a statement.
'The effectiveness of the anti-doping programmes for the Paris 2024 Olympic qualification and Olympic competition will continue to be closely monitored by the IOC, as will the implementation of the governance and cultural changes adopted by the IWF,' it added.'Olympic weightlifting will remain as part of the Olympic movement,' the IWF Athletes Commission wrote in their story.
