So woke up yesterday to my instagram and twitter feeds exploding with support for Ed Coan in relation to the IPF ruling on his seminars for their registered lifters.
While I can understand and commend the IPF for the stance on drugs in sports, I fail to see how attending a seminar from Ed would cause any issues. Yes he got banned for substance abuse, but he is still an amazing lifter and teacher and anyone would benefit from his knowledge. Still takes hard work and knowledge to become such a powerful lifter regardless of any chemical assistance.
See the ruling here.

One has to wonder, since the IPF have stepped on his toes and potentially impacted his source of income, Does he have grounds to go after the IPF legally for slander, defamation?
