Anderson Marquette University Law School Follow this and additional works at: http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/sportslaw Part of the Entertainment and Sports Law Commons Repository Citation Paul M.

Rev. 498 (2010) Available at: http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/sportslaw/vol20/iss2/9 This Survey is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at Marquette Law Scholarly Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. SURVEY 2009 ANNUAL SURVEY: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SPORTS LAW* INTRODUCTION This survey encapsulates sports-related cases adjudicated between January 1 and December 31, 2009. It does not include every decision associated with sports; rather, it is intended to summarize only those cases involving compelling issues that could have an impact on the development of sports law in the coming years. The survey is designed to give the reader brief insight into how much the field has grown and highlight buzzworthy topics. For easy browsing, the survey is divided into sections based on the specific area of the law that applies to the primary issue in each case. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW Administrative law governs the actions of government agencies on local, state, and federal levels. These actions can vary from rule-making to engaging in contractual negotiations to enforcing a regulatory system. Very few major sports law cases involve this body of the law, but, as shown in the following case, the consequences of an agency's decision can have a powerful impact on the future of a community.

  • Alex Sawyer, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, 1.312
    September 10, 2015 Reporters May Contact: Alex Sawyer, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, 1.312.992.6618 [email protected] Diane Wagner, Bank of America, 1.312.992.2370 [email protected] 2012 Chicago Champion and Current Half Marathon World Record-holder Headline 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Elite Field International Elites Attempt to Qualify for National Olympic Teams CHICAGO – Today, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon announced 2012 champion Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia and current half marathon world record-holder Florence Kiplagat of Kenya will return to compete for the crown at the 38th annual event. Kebede and Kiplagat accent an international elite field that represents the global road to Rio de Janeiro. Many athletes hope to use the 2015 Chicago Marathon as a springboard (via qualifying times and notable performances) to representing their countries at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. Chicago marks the site of Kebede’s 2012 marathon personal best (2:04:38) and his sole victory in three attempts down the homestretch on Columbus Drive. His 2010 epic, head-to-head battle against the late Sammy Wanjiru is considered by many to be one of the most courageous marathon duels of all time. On the women’s side, Kenya’s Florence Kiplagat comes back to Chicago after finishing in 2:25:57 last year. Kiplagat has something no other woman in the field has: the half marathon world record. The 2010 IAAF World Half Marathon champion and the 2011 and 2013 Berlin Marathon champion broke her own half marathon world record in February, clocking a remarkable 1:05:09 in Barcelona (she also set the 15K and 20K world records en route).
