RELEASE FROM LIABILITY and CONSENT TO DRUG TEST:
NOTE: Please read this release carefully as when
signed, you will be giving up important legal rights.
In consideration of the acceptance of my entry form for the October 4th, 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 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 cooperate 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 event for any reason, I will forfeit all entry fees, which will not be
exchanged.
I 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.
I 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 signature that this release/agreement cannot be modified
orally.
