The aim of this book is to provide an account of how the law
influences the operation, administration and playing of modern
sports. Although the book focuses on legal doctrine it has been
written bearing in mind sport's historical, cultural, social and
economic context, including the drama and colour of sport's major
events and leading personalities. And although it is inevitably
very much concerned with elite professional sports it is not
dominated by them, and seeks to cover the widest possible range of
sports, professional and amateur. Initially, the book addresses
practical issues such as the structures of national and
international sport, and examines the evolution of the body of law
known as 'sports law'. Thereafter three main themes are identified:
regulatory; participatory; and, financial aspects of modern sport.
The regulatory theme is dealt with in chapters considering the
manner in which decisions of sports governing bodies may be
challenged in the ordinary courts and the development of
alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in sport. The
participatory theme includes the legal regulation of doping and
violence in sport, as well as the broader topic of tortious
liability for sporting injuries. The financial theme, reflecting
the enhanced commercialisation of sport at all levels, is developed
in chapters concerning issues in applied contract and employment
law for players and legal matters surrounding the organisation of
major sports events. The conclusion summarises modern sport's
experience of EU law, pointing the way to the future direction of
sports law more generally. While the book is aimed primarily at
students, and is designed to cover fundamental and topical areas of
sports law (sports law in general; sports bodies and the courts;
arbitration in sport; corruption; doping; violence; civil
liability; discrimination; the commodification of modern sport;
and, the likely future of sports law), it should also prove of
wider interest to practitioners, sports administrators and
governing bodies; and though focused primarily on UK law it will
also appeal to readers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the
USA.
