Complaints by weightlifters about the unfairness of weigh-in regulations have led to a change in the rules by the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF).

Males and females of all ages will have to wear a weightlifting uniform when they weigh in, and any mention of the contentious word "undergarments" has been removed from the updated rules, which are effective immediately.

Nobody will be allowed to weigh in naked or bra-less, and there will now be an across-the-board allowance of 250 grammes for the uniform, which means any athlete who is over the weight limit for their category by 250g or less will be eligible to compete.
