In other football related cases, the CAS comes back to the notion of decision and examines the standing to be sued of a club in disciplinary proceedings. Finally, in Khaled Adenon c. FIFA, Matthieu Reeb the CAS considers the jurisdiction of CAS towards a party appealing against a disciplinary sanction and deals specifi cally with the exhaustion of internal remedies prior to the appeal before the CAS.

  • 1 Match-Fixing in London Olympic Year Scandals
    MATCH-FIXING IN LONDON OLYMPIC YEAR SCANDALS, LESSONS & POLICY DEVELOPMENTS Kevin Carpenter Solicitor, Hill Dickinson LLP, Consultant and Editorial Board Member, LawInSport 2012 was predicted to be the year when match-fixing, particularly that related to sports betting, became the principal issue of sporting integrity worldwide with London hosting the Olympic Games. As it transpired there was only one such scandal at the 2012 Games and it was not related to betting. Yet the Olympics did provide the actors in the fight against match-fixing with many invaluable lessons. Developments in the field of match-fixing during 2012 came instead from outside of the Olympics with the progression and revelation of numerous instances of match-fixing and the advancement of new public and private policies to detect, deter and educate. This paper will examine issues ranging from the increasing use of polygraph (lie-detector) tests and the role of national and international bodies, to the sports that have been knee-deep in the match-fixing mire during 2012 and whether the current approach to sanctioning is proportionate. Sports affected during 2012 Football As ever, being the most popular sport worldwide, football accounted for a large proportion of match-fixing activity in 2012. Changes at the top of football’s world governing body FIFA, with Ralph Mutschke taking over from Chris Eaton as Director of Security, allowed Eaton to reveal some uncomfortable allegations upon taking over as Director of Sport Integrity at the newly formed International Centre for Sport Security (‘ICSS’) based in Doha (to which I will return later). The principal of which was a claim that the 2010 World Cup match between Nigeria v Greece was under investigation for match-fixing.1 Nigeria having previous being part of an alleged fixed friendly match with Argentina back in June 2011.

  • Sports Corruption: Sporting Autonomy, Lex Sportiva and the Rule of Law
    Serby, T 2017 Sports Corruption: Sporting Autonomy, Lex Sportiva and the Rule of Law. Entertainment and Sports Law Journal, 15: 2, pp. 1–9, DOI: https://doi.org/10.16997/eslj.204 ARTICLE Sports Corruption: Sporting Autonomy, Lex Sportiva and the Rule of Law Tom Serby Anglia Ruskin University, GB [email protected] An apparent escalation in on-field corruption (doping and match-fixing) in professional sports has led to increasing numbers of athletes facing bans and a loss of livelihood as a consequence of decisions taken by sporting tribunals, as part of a regulatory system referred to as lex sportiva. This has led to challenges in domestic courts from athletes over the lawfulness and fairness of these proceedings (for example Pechstein and Kaneria). These challenges to the legitimacy of lex sportiva (and to the principle of the autonomy of sport) echo Foster’s (2003) critique of lex sportiva/global sports law as: a cloak for continued self-regulation by international sports federations…a claim for non-intervention by both national legal systems and by international sports law… [which] opposes a rule of law in regulating international sport. The paper considers what is the ‘rule of law’ that regulates on-field corruption, and concludes that it is a complex web of law, since sports governing bodies now share with the state many aspects of the sanctioning of on-field corruption. The paper considers how the doctrine of ‘the autonomy of sport’ has informed the development of lex sportiva in regard to athlete corruption, and the competing claims of private sports law and national legal systems over the regulation of athlete corruption.

  • Anti-Doping in Football Project Has Been Funded with Support from the European Commission (ERASMUS+ Sport 2019)
    This Anti-Doping in Football project has been funded with support from the European Commission (ERASMUS+ Sport 2019). This publication and all its contents reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Anti-Doping in Football Historically anti-doping efforts have focused on the detection and deterrence of doping in elite sport and football has not been an exception. However, there is a growing concern among policy makers and sport stakeholders that doping outside the elite sporting system is an expanding and problematic phenomenon, giving rise to the belief that the misuse of doping agents in recreational sport has become a societal problem and a public health concern. Whereas the latter is happening at high level, the same level of awareness is missing among amateur football players representing a major issue if we consider the social harm and impact upon both users and sport communities doping abuse might create. The use of drugs in football is not widely associated with the sport because of lack of evidence, unlike individual sports such as cycling, weight-lifting, and track and field. Much closer collaboration and further investigation is needed with regard to banned substances, detection methods, and data collection. This project addresses the issue of awareness and support at the amateur grassroots football level. Despite calls from European institutions through official documents and expert groups for coherent approaches, there is much to be done in football. The lack of a coordinated approach ANTI-DIF PROJECT I APRIL 2019 I [email protected] 1 at EU level undermines also the possibility to have a comprehensive picture of the overall situation to understand which actions must be urgently delivered.

  • December 2018 Cresset
    December 2018 Bottisham & District Branch of The Royal British Legion REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY This year saw the centenary of the signing of the Armistice which ended World War 1 and was commemorated by some special services across the country and indeed the world. We in Bottisham and the surrounding villages held our own special day with a parade and service at Swaffham Bulbeck Parish Church. It was held there for a number of reasons, but the main one was to showcase the wonderful display of thousands of crocheted poppies, made by local volunteers. Cascading down from the top of the tower and floodlit at night, it made a wonderful statement. The Bottisham Branch would like to thank everyone who attended, particularly all those who took part in the parade. The Cadets of the Burwell detachment of the Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force, The Scouts, The Guides, The Cubs and Brownies. Great to see so many young people there. Also thanks to the Deputy Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire, representing the Queen, Mrs. Penny Walkinshaw. The Branch would like to apologise for the lack of House to House collections this year for the poppy appeal. This was due to being let down by Haig House in the supply of the required ID cards to allow the collectors to call. Normal service should be resumed next year. If you would like to Join The Royal British Legion then visit their website, or come along to one of our meetings which are held every other month J.M.M.J.S.N., third Wednesday 8.00pm at the Bottisham Community Sports & Social Club.

Not every sports-related case decided in 2012 is included in this survey. Instead, this survey briefly summarizes a wide range of cases that impacted the sports industry in 2012. This survey intends to give the reader an insight into the growing industry of sports-related legal issues and to highlight the most recent developments in sports law. To better assist the reader, this survey is arranged alphabetically by the specific substantive area of law associated with each sports law case. ADMINISTRATIVE LAW Administrative law covers the actions of the federal, state, and local governments, such as adjudicating, rulemaking, and regulatory enforcement. Sports law cases rarely involve administrative law, but one occurred in 2012. Salt Lake City Corp. v. Jordan River Restoration Network1 This conflict arose when the Jordan River Restoration Network opposed Salt Lake City’s efforts to validate municipal bonds to finance the construction of a regional sports complex.
