Warmup area: only for lifters and coach, all lifters must ensure the use of collars when warming up.
Drug testing: This is a drug tested contest. Once a lifter has weighed in he/she accepts the drug testing procedure IN FULL, and from that moment on is in the contest. The lifter may not exit from the contest before it’s completion even if he or she bombs out as this may be viewed as a refusal to submit a sample for anti-doping control and if so will result in immediate disqualification from the contest and suspension from the BCPA/CPU.
