Athletes and affiliates listed below are banned from the CPSAF and POSA events. The reason for this penalty is listed beside the person's name. EXPLANATIONS OF BAN ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST BY EMAILING: cpsafathletesdirector@gmail.com. However, keep in mind personal athlete information can not be disclosed. These documents are made public. Ban's are put into action as a form of penalty when athletes fail to adhere to CPSAF or POSA rules and regulations or break code of ethics. THEY CAN ONLY BE APPLIED TO ATHLETES following an executive board vote nationally. If athletes are banned by POSA (pole sports and arts world federation) this was not a national enacted ban. Internationally this athlete has been banned by the decision of the POSA Executive Board and applied by either the International President or Vice President. Bans nationally or internationally cannot be put into place without a strong system of checks and balances by national and international. Nationally, we must provide strong evidence supporting our decision to ban any athlete for any period of time. Internationally full investigations are completed before POSA takes this action. No Ban is a result of individual decision nationally or internationally. Ban case files at national level are available to public. This is to avoid slander against our organization from athletes or their affiliates. Since they are typically unhappy with the penalty they have received as a result of their violations.
