NOTE: Please read this release carefully as when

In consideration of the acceptance of my entry form for the September 27th, 2008 OPEN POWERLIFTING & SINGLE EVENT Championships, I intend to be legally bound for not only myself, but also my heirs, my 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 the RELEASE FROM LIABILITY, I waive and release anyone connected with
this competition: i.e. the CANTON HIGH SCHOOL, the AMERICAN DRUG-FREE
POWERLIFTING FEDERATION, the meet directors and staff, or any persons
associated with the competition from any and all liability, including any
results of negligence which may arise form 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 competition and I also forfeit any
previous trophy, award, record or placing should the offence be deemed serious
enough, according to ADFPF 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 for
suspended members. If determined that I
have 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 of national law for defamation, slander,
libel, or any other claim for which legal relief is available.
Additionally,
I realize that if I do not attend this even for any reason, I will forfeit all
entry fees which will not be exchanged.

agree to pay any attorney fees and litigation expenses incurred by any person
real of corporate, whom I may sue in an effort to challenge this release from
liability.

understand that my agreement to pay attorney fees and litigation expenses is the
SINE QUA NON for acceptance of my entry in this competition. 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
