“…With regard to this position, it is worth noting the presence of a certain discussion. In particular, K. Foster (2005) suggests distinguishing between the categories of international («principles of international law applicable to sport») and global («transnational autonomous legal order created by private global sports institutions that regulate international sports»). In its most general form, international sports law is a system of interrelated norms and rules governing social relations that develop in international sports activities.…”

“…The legal aspects of the regulation of sports law were studied by such scholars of Western Europe: Casini (Casini, 2011), Loquin (2003), Nafziger (2006), Grayson (2008), Simon (1995), Felops et al (2006), Foster (2005, Serdyukov (2010), Bordiuhova (2009) et al The blurring of the boundaries of sports law is also evidenced by its study in other sciences, namely in administrative law (Dzhafarova & Ivantsov, 2011): concerning state regulation of the institutions of physical culture and sports management (Bytiak, 2003;Ostapenko et al, 2008), within the framework of the tourist direction (Kivalov, 2004), in the aspect of youth policy (Averyanov, 2005). Nevertheless, the subject matter remains understudied, and its doctrinal interpretation is ambiguous, and therefore this issue requires a comprehensive study that has not yet been conducted and is complicated by the lack of systematization of legal acts regulating relations in the field of sports in Ukraine.…”

Abstract. Development of physical culture and sports and updating of a healthy lifestyle lead to increasing of public interest in the sports sector inevitably. It entails the creating of sport’s law as a separate branch of law associated with numerous scientific researches, legal practices and professional activities of athletes, sports industry’ managers and supporters of a healthy lifestyle. The article is aimed to the theoretical analysis of certain aspects of the legal regulation of sports relations that form a new branch of sports law, determining its place in the national and international legal systems. The comparative legal analysis is the leading scientific approach of this study, which allows to discover the degree of scientific development of this issue with the purpose of increasing the efficiency of legal regulation of physical education and sports. An attempt was made to present sports law as an independent branch of law, resulting from a synthesis of international and national law that regulate relations in different industries through the lenses of public and private law. The specificity of this branch of law leads to a high degree of controversy in the question of determining its features, which are properly investigated in the work. Criteria of the features of the implementation of sports law are formulated: substantive capacity, external borders with other branches of law, national characteristics and international universality. Resumen. El desarrollo de la cultura física y el deporte y la renovación de un estilo de vida saludable conducen inevitablemente a un aumento del interés público en el campo deportivo. Esto implica la creación del derecho deportivo como una rama separada del derecho, asociada con numerosas investigaciones científicas, práctica legal y actividades profesionales de atletas, líderes de la industria del deporte y partidarios de un estilo de vida saludable. El artículo tiene como objetivo el análisis teórico de aspectos individuales de la regulación jurídica de las relaciones deportivas, que configuran una nueva rama del derecho deportivo, determinando su lugar en los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales e internacionales. El análisis jurídico comparado es el enfoque científico principal de este estudio, que permite identificar el grado del desarrollo científico de este tema con el fin de incrementar la efectividad de la regulación legal de la educación física y el deporte. Se hizo un intent de presentar el derecho deportivo como una rama independiente del derecho, que surgió como resultado de la síntesis del derecho internacional y nacional que regula las relaciones en diversas industrias a través del prisma del derecho público y privado. La especificidad de esta rama del derecho genera un alto grado de contradicciones en el tema de determinar sus características, las cuales son debidamente investigadas en el trabajo. Se formulan criterios de las peculiaridades de la implementación del derecho deportivo: capacidad material, fronteras exteriores con otras ramas del derecho, características nacionales y universalidad internacional.

“…Casini, 2011; McLaren, 2010; Mitten, 2014; Valloni, 2012). As Valloni (2012) explained, CAS provides “the only system capable of international applicability and consistency for international sport.” Foster (2005) took a more critical view, noting that CAS rarely overturned IF decisions, and operated primarily as a “standards council,” with IFs signing on to a private and “sacrosanct” system of governance that demanded immunity from interventions by national and domestic legal systems (p. 2). This left athletes unprotected in a context where so-called “global sport law” was merely “a cloak for self-regulation” (McArdle, 2015, pp.…”

Purpose The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), created by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1983, resolves disputes between athletes and national or international sports governing bodies. The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the history and functions of CAS, with a particular focus on the ways in which athletes’ rights are threatened by the IOC’s Code of Sports-Related Arbitration. Design/methodology/approach The author reviews relevant law literature and media sources. Findings The concept of lex sportiva (global sport law), general arbitration practices and controversies concerning CAS’s impartiality are investigated, and the “strict liability” principle that CAS applies to doping allegations is assessed. This analysis points to a long record of inconsistencies and contradictions in the history and function of CAS. The findings lead to questions of arbitration or litigation; confidential or public proceedings; specialist or generalist arbitrators; lex sportiva or international legal principles; precedential or non-precedential awards; and civil or criminal burden of proof. Originality/value These unresolved issues demonstrate how the IOC struggles to maintain supremacy over world sport by promoting sport exceptionalism, and provide possible grounds for athletes’ future challenges to CAS.

“…The term lex ludica is another use of the Latin neologisms. Some authors (25,26) use it to designate a specific segment of sports law. The specific quality of a given segment is contained in the very essence of sport as a social phenomenon and in the fact that sport is an organized competitive play.…”

With the rise of importance of sport as a social phenomenon in recent decades, more public attention has been paid to the issue of the legal nature of the rules governing social relations in sports. The issue raised above are only a part of a much broader topic that involves questions of relations of a classical Westphalian state and changes in the international community as well as issues of the essence and manifestations of law. The traditional theoretical approach, based on the principles of Westphalian sovereign state and state centralism, does not allow the possibility of existence of sports law because the law does not exist outside of the state. The modern theories of legal pluralism represent a different approach and see one of the most powerful examples of non-state law in sports law. If the concept of the existence of sports law is accepted, it is important to determine its contents. From temporal and quantitative distance, sports organizations are autonomous and main creators of the rules of conduct in sport. However, since the second half of the 20th century the state has had bigger and more important role in the regulation of sport.
