I hope others with integrity will follow us in a new direction. If powerlifters don’t stand behind each other, regardless of race and nationalities, the integrity will crumble before our feet. My life has been dedicated to powerlifting for 41 years and all my memories and friendships have sprung from powerlifting. The fins, Germans and of course the Ukrainians are a large part of these friendships.

I would like to extend a warm invitation to all countries especially the Ukraine’s and of course Mr. Kutcher and Mr. Yarymbash and the 19 year old 100k lifter who was disqualified without doing a single deadlift, to come to Ohio and have a chance to win money and I mean guaranteed cash money competing against the best we have to offer. If our competitions from our foreign lands die, we die as well. We will treat you as we would like to be treated, fairly and with respect.

Once again, I would like to apologize to Taisia and her Ukrainian teammates.

Sincerely

Louie

oh shit!

Nobody knows what happened?

I researched it right afer Rom posted this but I can't remember all of the specifics.... and I don't want to look it up again right now. Something about the guy that runs WPO, Kieran Kidder, being a douchebag to a couple Ukranian lifters at the Arnold. I'm going to bed now so if there's no updates when I check back up on this thread, I'll go look it up again and link you guys.
