The organization now has an international federation and board of directors, serving to guide and govern the movement.

Here's how it works: an international federation sets globally applicable rules and national federations then enforce those rules in their respective countries.

But the international federation has moved to tighten its rules in the wake of a damaging rumpus.

If a national federation fails to enforce those rules, it can be suspended by the international federation and its athletes will be excluded from competition.

The international federation has yet to acknowledge that any suit makes a difference.
