International Powerlifting Federation
The International Powerlifting Federation is an international governing body for the sport of powerlifting as recognized by the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) as well as the International Olympic Committee via inclusion into the World Games.
The IPF was founded in 1971, and comprises member federations from more than one hundred countries with new ones being added yearly. The current IPF president is Detlev Albrings, from Germany. The IPF is the largest and most respected powerlifting federation in the world.
IPF is a drug-testing federation that restricts supportive equipment usage to single-ply polyester shirts and suits.

[edit] World champions
The various federations have their own championships. The IPF's recognition by the International Olympic Committee as the official governing body, as well its longevity has resulted in their championships being deemed the official world championships, and the results of these are shown below. However, other respected federations have had their own world champions also (much as boxing world champions are divided among a myriad of organisations). For world champions associated with other federations see the articles for those federations for more information.
