Phil Andrews resigned from his position as Treasurer of the Pan American Federation (PAWF), saying that “he was prevented from fulfilling the role of treasurer according to the standards required by such responsibility.”
His resignation was submitted in a letter to all members of the Pan American Executive Committee.
Andrews is still the CEO of US weightlifters and will continue in that role.
In his letter, he said, “Many challenges that make it difficult for me to work under my own high level of ethical standards. These factors and behaviors of others beyond my control have prevented me from overseeing the financial condition of the organization in an appropriate ethical and responsible manner.”
An alternate name for the position was not specified at this time.
