In signing this Release from Liability, I waive and release everyone connected with this competition from any and all liability, including any results of negligence, which may arise from this competition.

Moreover, I agree that any testing method which the meet director and the sponsors of this meet use to detect the presence of strength inducing drugs SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE. That is, whether I think the results of the test are right or wrong, I agree that I have no right to challenge the results of the drug test. I further agree to submit to any physical tests, which may be necessary to complete the drug testing. Should I fail to pass the drug test, I agree to forfeit any trophy or award, which I might otherwise have won. I understand and agree that if I fail to pass a drug test, my name will appear on a published list of suspended members. If it is determined that I have failed the drug test, I agree to waive any claim for which legal relief is available.

I agree to pay any attorney fee and litigation expenses incurred by any person, real or cooperate, whom I may sue in an effort to challenge this Release from Liability form. I understand that my agreement to pay attorney fees and litigation expenses is the sine qua non for the acceptance of my entry into this contest.
