Richard Mclaren's Independent Weightlifting Investigation Launches Confidential Whistleblower Website
The enquiry website can be accessed here https://mclarenweightliftingenquiry.com. The whistleblower hotline may be accessed directly and separately from the enquiry website at https://forms.theiline.co.uk/miwe.
The hotline is powered by Crimestoppers, the independent charity that gives people the power to speak up and stop crime, corruption and cheating. Informants are assured of complete confidentiality.
Professor McLaren was appointed by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) in February 2020 to investigate allegations of impropriety surrounding President Dr. Tamas Ajan and the IWF as revealed in the Der Herr de Heber documentary broadcast on Germany's ARD network.
The documentary included allegations of financial irregularities, doping control distribution, doping sample manipulation and doping payment irregularities.
The investigation is entirely independent. The team has committed to delivering a report by the end of April. Professor McLaren reports through the newly established IWF Oversight and Integrity Commission as his liaison to the IWF Executive Board. Professor McLaren is empowered to take whatever measures he sees fit to ensure each and every allegation is fully investigated and reported.
