RELEASE FROM
LIABILITY and CONSENT TO DRUG TEST:
NOTE: (Please read this release very
carefully as when you sign it, you will be giving up important legal rights)
In consideration of the acceptance of my entry
form for these 2008 POWERLIFTING National Championships, I intend to be legally
bound for not only myself, but also my heirs, executors and my
administrators.
Additionally,
I understand that Powerlifting is an inherently hazardous activity and that
participation in this sport exposes me to the risk of injury or death. I further understand that the A.D.F.P.F.
will NOT reimburse me for, or coverage of any medical expenses incurred by me
as a result of injuries that I might sustain, training for, traveling to or
from, or participating in the competition.
In signing this release from liability, I waive
and release anyone connected with this competition; i.e. the meet directors,
the ADFPF, championships sponsors and staff, the World Drug-Free Powerlifting
Federation (WDFPF), the contest facilities or any persons associated with the
competition from any and all liability, including any results of negligence
which may arise from this competition.
Moreover, I agree that any testing method selected by A.D.F.P.F.
recognized testing officers may be applied to detect the presence of drugs, as
listed on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned substances list
SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE. I agree to co-operate fully with all required IOC sampling
and testing procedures. This includes any testing procedures that may be
considered necessary prior to or after this event.
Should I fail to pass the drug testing
procedures, I agree to forfeit any trophy, award, record or placing which I won
during the championships and I also forfeit any previous trophy, award, record
or placing should the offence be deemed serious enough, according to ADFPF
& WDFPF rules, to warrant such an action.
I understand and agree that if I fail to pass the drug testing process,
my name will appear on a published list of suspended members. If determined that I failed the drug test, I
agree to waive any claim for which legal relief is available. I also agree to waive any claim that might
arise under state, national or international law for defamation, slander,
libel, or any other claim for which legal relief is available.
I realize that if I do not attend the 2008
POWERLIFTING CHAMPIONSHIPS for any reason, I will forfeit all fees which cannot
be exchanged. I agree to pay any
attorney fees and litigation expenses incurred by any person real or corporate,
whom I may sue in an effort to challenge this release from liability.
I understand that my agreement to pay attorney
fees and litigation expenses is the SINE QUA NON for acceptance of my entry in
this championship. If any provision of
this Release From Liability shall be deemed by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, the remainder of this Release from Liability shall
remain in full force and effect. I also
certify with my signature that this release/agreement cannot be modified
orally.
