CrossFit Requests Retraction of Erroneous Injury Paper

On May 17, 2019, CrossFit, Inc. sent a letter requesting the retraction of a paper recently published in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine. The paper purportedly compared the likelihood and severity of self-reported injury in CrossFit® training and traditional weightlifting. The letter states that the paper should be retracted because it “is beset with scientific error, cites retracted studies that contained fabricated data and inaccurately cites other studies concerning our CrossFit® brand.” CrossFit, Inc. will continue to respond promptly and decisively to all inaccurate claims regarding the safety and efficacy of the training provided by its licensed affiliates and trainers.
