Sports Arbitration

Sports arbitration Abstract In this thesis, I address international sports arbitration and its application to solving a variety of legal issues. Simultaneously, I describe significant issues related to doping and performance enhancing substance abuse. I provide thorough analyses of individual international arbitration bodies; their governance over athletic environment, and appeal and dispute resolution procedures. This thesis points out selected organizational and procedural issues of international arbitration and its bodies and suggests possible solutions. I use a number of significant and notable arbitration cases (including legal case of a client I personally represented in front of the Court of Arbitration for Sport) to support argument.
