“…She concluded that Czech NFs provide information on anti-doping in a very limited manner, and made several suggestions for improvement. 68 On the other hand, the only academic literature on the roles and responsibilities of the Czech NOC in antidoping education is the author's research project within the MEMOS program from 2020 69 and related working paper from 2021. 70 Since the existing knowledge is limited, I conducted empirical research to clarify the roles and responsibilities of NOCs, particularly the Czech NOC in the anti-doping education.…”

“…The EU bodies and institutions accentuate good governance of the sporting governing bodies. 6 In MOTOE, the Court of Justice ("ECJ") condemned a national ruling which provided organisers of motorcycling competitions with the power to approve applications for authorization to organise such competitions without restrictions, obligations, and review. The ECJ ruled that the organiser abused its dominant position, particularly because of the conflict of regulatory and commercial interests of the organizer that also concluded sponsorship, advertising and insurance contracts related to the competition.…”

This paper researches the roles and responsibilities of National Olympic Committees (NOC), especially the Czech Olympic Committee (Czech NOC), in anti-doping education. Good governance is an increasingly important condition of the self-regulatory autonomy of anti-doping organizations (ADO) in the European Union (EU). Moreover, the principles of good governance identified by both, the EU bodies and institutions, and the IOC, cover education. In this context, the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) outlines the educational roles and responsibilities of NOCs. Nevertheless, concrete form and implementation of such roles and responsibilities remain vague and unclear, which may jeopardize NOC’s good governance, integrity, and management in the fight against doping. Therefore, the research objective of this paper is to clarify and establish concrete roles, responsibilities, and strengths of NOCs, particularly the Czech NOC, in anti-doping education. This paper initially reviews the social science research and the existing knowledge on the concrete roles and responsibilities of NOCs. Consequently, it presents the conducted empirical research, employing three main data collection techniques: surveys, interviews, and focus groups. Finally, this paper formulates recommendations and an action plan on how the Czech NOC, and similarly all NOCs, should use their strengths to exercise their roles and responsibilities in anti-doping education effectively and sustainably. It simultaneously suggests how the Czech NOC and other NOCs should plan, implement, and evaluate their education programs to prevent doping in sports and strengthen their good governance in and beyond the EU.
