On June 4th, Professor Richard McLaren released his team’s report investigating allegations of financial corruption, election fraud, and doping cover ups at the International Weightlifting Federation’s (IWF) highest levels. According to McLaren’s report, former IWF President Dr. Tamas Aján was involved in deep financial corruption (with over $10 million unaccounted for) as well as coordinated election fraud. However, allegations made against the Hungarian National Anti-Doping Agency (HUNADO) regarding false drug testing did NOT prove to be accurate.

In this episode of the BarBend Podcast, USA Weightlifting CEO Phil Andrews — who began serving in a temporary transition role with the IWF after McLaren’s investigation was underway — joins us to talk about McLaren’s findings and potential impact of the report. It’s worth clarifying two things: Though he’s acting in a temporary position with the IWF, Phil was not directly involved in the investigation and only had access to the report at the same time as media and the public. In this recording, Phil also requested we clarify he is speaking here as the CEO of USA Weightlifting, and his words don’t necessarily represent positions held by the IWF.
