Sport & the law; Drug abuse in sport

This unique international legal and cross-disciplinary edited volume contains analysis of the legal impact of doping regulation by eminent and well known experts in the legal fields of sports doping regulation and diverse legal fields which are intrinsically important areas for consideration in the sports doping landscape. These are thoughtful extended reflections by experts on

theory

and policy and how they interact with law in the context of doping in sport. It is the first book to examine the topical and contentious area of sports doping from a variety of different but very relevant legal perspectives which impact the stakeholders in sport at both professional and grass roots levels. The World Anti-Doping Code contains an unusual mix of public and private regulation which is of more general interest and fully explored in this work.

Each of the 14 chapters addresses doping regulation from a legal perspective such as tort, corporate governance, employment law, human rights law, or a scientific area. Legal areas are generally considered from an international and not national perspective.

Issues including fairness, logic and the likelihood of compliance are explored. It is vital reading for anyone interested in the law, regulation and governance of sport.

Reviews for Doping in Sport and the Law

This book is a must read for lawyers wanting to know more about the Code and the complex web of legal and social considerations surrounding its enforcement. It is also a significant resource for athletes, officials, coaches and sports administrators. -- Anthony Lo Surdo * Australian Banking and Finance Bulletin * This new book is a timely and welcome addition to the literature on this subject [....]. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all of those with an interest in doping in sport. -- Prof Dr Ian Blackshaw, International Sports Lawer * Global Sports Law and Taxation Reports * This text will be of interest to legal practitioners who practise or are interested in sports doping, particularly those who wish to go beyond the wording of the Code and consider the history and policy rationale for the unique regulatory framework for sports doping. -- Martin Ross, partner, Hall & Wilcox * Law Institute Journal *
