Consent to Doping Control I understand that Lancaster Archery Supply, Inc (LAS) has organized The Lancaster Archery Classic (the “Event”) to be held in Lancaster, PA from January 25-28, 2024. I understand that LAS has contracted with the International Testing Agency (“ITA”) to conduct doping control services in conjunction with the Event, including sample collection and analysis, results management, and the adjudication of disputes involving potential anti-doping rule violations for participants in the Event. I understand that the sample collection will be in turn delegated and handled by International Doping Tests & Management (“IDTM”). I understand and agree that by virtue of signing this Consent, I am subject to doping control conducted by the ITA, on behalf of LAS. I understand and agree that the World Anti-Doping Code (“Code”) and International Standards and World Archery Anti-Doping Rules apply to me and constitute the anti-doping rules for the Event, and that I am required to abide by all such rules and by the anti-doping rules of the World Archery and the Sanctioning Body. I further understand and agree that LAS shall recognize and enforce any sanction imposed against me by the ITA, the Sanctioning Body or any other Code Signatory that results from a violation of the applicable anti-doping rules, regardless of whether such violation occurred during the Event. I agree that during the Event and for up to ninety (90) days thereafter as may be needed for follow up testing, I will be subject to blood and/or urine testing for any substance or method on the World Anti-Doping Agency (“WADA”) Prohibited List: https://www.wada-ama.org/en/what-we-do/the-prohibited. I agree to submit to urine and/or blood testing by ITA/IDTM immediately upon notification that I have been selected for drug testing and to provide complete whereabouts information to the ITA in the event that follow up testing should become necessary. It is my responsibility to know and understand all anti-doping rules applicable to me prior to signing this Consent, including the requirement to obtain a Therapeutic Use Exemption prior to using any medication containing a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method. The Code is available online and may be found at https://www.wada-ama.org/en/resources/the-code/world-anti-doping-code. The World Archery Anti-Doping Rules are available online and may be found at https://worldarchery.org/rulebook/article/1385. I understand that significant penalties exist for any anti-doping rule violation and that such violations may be established through any reliable means including, but not limited to, drug testing, admissions, third-party testimony, and circumstantial evidence. If I am charged with an anti-doping rule violation I agree that my case will be administered in accordance with the World Archery Anti-Doping Rules. I, on behalf of myself, my sponsors and all who may claim through me, agree that arbitration under the terms of the World Archery and ITA is our sole and exclusive legal recourse and means of addressing any charge of doping, ineligibility, loss of results, or any other issues arising from any antidoping rule violation or any other matter arising in connection with the collection, transport, and analysis of my sample(s), results management, or the reporting or communication of drug testing information or doping control results by ITA or its designees. I, on behalf of myself, my team, my sponsors and all who claim through me, hereby waive and release any other right, remedy, claim or cause of action involving ITA, LAS or any other party relating to doping control and/or the handling, analysis and reporting of my sample(s) or the administration of any potential or actual anti-doping rule violation. In the event that I challenge the laboratory results or otherwise contest any charges from ITA that I committed an anti-doping rule violation, and am then found to be in violation of the World Archery rules, I understand and agree that I will reimburse LAS for any and all costs associated with the results management of my case.
