This book addresses the tension between, on the one hand,
anti-doping practices and measures and, on the other hand, the
fundamental rights of athletes. New techniques for testing and
re-testing samples taken several years ago, have caused a push by
the World Anti-Doping Agency and affiliated organizations for
stricter rules, more doping tests and higher sanctions. Meanwhile,
many States are adopting new laws and regulations to facilitate
this push. At the same time, privacy and data protection have
gained new momentum, especially in the European Union, where the
General Data Protection Regulation came into effect in May 2018. It
contains new obligations for data controllers and processors,
rights for data subjects and sanctions for those violating the data
protection rules. It is clear that gathering whereabouts
information on athletes, collecting urine and blood samples,
analyzing the samples and using the data distilled there from falls
within the scope of the data protection framework. In addition,
European athletes can invoke their rights to privacy, fair trial
and freedom from discrimination as guaranteed by the European
Convention on Human Rights. The book is aimed at professionals and
organizations involved in sports and anti-doping and provides them
with an opportunity to delve into and understand the rights
guaranteed to athletes within the European context. Furthermore, it
is equally relevant for privacy and data protection lawyers and
human rights scholars wishing to familiarize themselves with the
difficult questions relating to human rights protection in the
world of sport and anti-doping. Written in accessible language, it
should also prove useful to athletes and laymen wanting to learn
about the rules applicable to almost everyone who practices sport,
even at a local amateur level. Bart van der Sloot is senior
researcher at Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands, Mara
Paun is PhD researcher at Tilburg University, Tilburg, The
Netherlands, Ronald Leenes is professor at Tilburg University,
Tilburg, The Netherlands.
The goal of the book is to present the latest research on the new
challenges of data technologies. It will offer an overview of the
social, ethical and legal problems posed by group profiling, big
data and predictive analysis and of the different approaches and
methods that can be used to address them. In doing so, it will help
the reader to gain a better grasp of the ethical and legal
conundrums posed by group profiling. The volume first maps the
current and emerging uses of new data technologies and clarifies
the promises and dangers of group profiling in real life
situations. It then balances this with an analysis of how far the
current legal paradigm grants group rights to privacy and data
protection, and discusses possible routes to addressing these
problems. Finally, an afterword gathers the conclusions reached by
the different authors and discuss future perspectives on regulating
new data technologies.
