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 the AUGUST 15th , 2009 Single Event Bench Press, Deadlift &/or Iron Man competition, I intend to be legally bound not only for myself, but also my heirs, my executors and my administrators.

In signing this release from liability, I waive and release anyone connected with this competition; i.e. The Holland, MI State Park, the American Drug-Free Powerlifting Federation, the meet staff, or any persons associated with the competition from any and all liability, including any results of negligence which may arise from this competition.

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 which I might sustain, training for, traveling to or from, or participating in the 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 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 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 or 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 that will not 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 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.
