Fragment from Armpower.NET – EAF CONGRESS:

” The issue of the WAF website, which was to be sold to WAF for $ 50,000 by a person associated with the previous WAF management, was also settled. EAF recommended to create a completely new website for WAF.

The www.worldarmwrestlingfederation.com website is no longer the official website of the WAF.

The current address of the official WAF website is:

www.waf-armwrestling.com

Another important change is connected with the number of doping tests. Instead o 20, there will be 40 doping tests carried out at European and World Championships. This number (40) of doping tests will also apply to disabled athletes.

Next issue raised during the Congress was the aspiration and accreditation of our sport in SPORTACCORD and formal issues related to that. Not all national federations have provided the necessary documentation to the EAF. So it was decided that if the national federation fails to submit the required documents by June 15, it will be obliged to pay a penalty of 2000 euros and will be deprived of the right to vote at the next congress.

The issue of new elbow pads will be discussed at the September Congress of the WAF.

Yesterday’s Congress was of course videotaped and we will soon present its course point by point. “
