  • Drug Testing

  • The pursuit of doping-free sport is a matter of public interest. CANPL is committed to eradicating the use of performance enhancing drugs from powerlifting in Canada. As such, all members of CANPL, by virtue of membership, are agreeing to submit to periodic drug testing, either at a sanctioned CANPL contest, or on a "short notice" or "no notice" out of competition basis. It is frowned upon to enter contests knowingly using or previously using PEDS. This action carries the risk of suspension. Doping is cheating in the APU/CANPL/IPF.

    The CANPL follows the guidelines of the Sports Integrity Canada. Sports Integrity Canada sets the rules that govern doping control in Canada. Compliant to the World Anti-Doping Agency, Sports Integrity Canada describes how the program is carried out and details the process of results management, including penalties for infractions. All athletes must complete the Sports Integrity Canada online education model to earn their certificate before they are allowed to compete. The module can be completed on the Sports Integrity Canada website: E-Learning Module

    YOU MUST BRING A PRINTED COPY OR SCREENSHOT OF YOUR SPORTS INTEGRITY CANADA CERTIFICATE. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THIS COURSE

    Full details of the drug testing protocols that the CANPL adheres to may be found on the Sports Integrity Canada website at: Sports Integrity Canada: Anti-Doping 

    $15 of the entry fee will be going towards drug testing (Sport Integrity Canada). If drug testing is unable to be secured, then fees will be signed over to the APU and used towards future drug testing in the province.
