I further agree to submit to any physical test, which may be necessary to complete the drug testing. Should I fail to pass the drug tests I agree to forfeit any trophy or award, which
I might otherwise have won. I understand and agree that if I fail to pass the drug tests, 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 by any person, real or corporate,
