WADA - foremost international body Responsible for: Promoting Coordinating Monitoring at international level the FIGHT AGAINST the use of drugs in sport 2003 – introduced a World Anti-Doping Code which provides the frameworks for anti-doping policies, rules & regulations

Eighty governments, International Olympic/Paralympic Committee & international & national anti-doping organisations signed up to the code WADA promotes research into the detection of drugs produces a list of banned substances Helps national bodies to produce coordinated anti-drug policies & regimes in accordance with the code Helps poorer nations with limited facilities to test their performers Working to get more compliance for out-of-competition testing (no notice testing)

UK Sport used to have the responsibility for anti- doping policy & strategy in the UK NADO has now took over the testing management Determines what sports will be required to provide information on players’ whereabouts Athletes on the system will be agreed between NADO & the sports NGB Performers required to provide information about their whereabouts and full schedule Missed tests & filing failures will count as a strike (3 strikes over an 18 month period will mean an anti-doping rule violation has been committed This will lead to a sanction of one or two years suspension

What is being done to deter performers?

Testing for PEDs NOT ALL countries adopt same level of rigour towards anti- doping testing programmes or in the way that offenders are punished Within the UK, performers have to submit themselves to a drug testing regime, this will include: Notification of whereabouts to UK Sport Drug tester turning up at anytime unannounced Taking the samples as laid down by the NADO Asking if performer has had any medication in last 7 days Bar-coding the sample so that the athletes identity is not known by the lab

SPORT & THE LAW

Pop corn reading 1 – Law in relation to performers 2 – Law in relation to officials & spectators 3 – Law in relation to managers etc.

Elite sport & the law have become more entwined. As elite sport becomes more commercialised & more a part of the news & entertainment industry, the stakes become higher for players, officials & spectators BOSMAN RULING – the ruling by the European Court of Justice, giving a professional player the right to a free transfer at the end of their contract

Therefore any transgression by individuals involved in sport are more likely to attract more attention of the police & the courts Players, team managers, match officials, agents & negotiators now need to be WELL VERSED in the law so that they know how to stay within it SPORT LAW – the body of legislation, case law, and precedence that applies to sport

National sport governing bodies want to hold their own right Determine rules Self regulate their sport Sport act as its own law maker, judge & jury – immune from the normal legal process BUT are having to increasingly operate within normal legal systems The law on the pitch – who is responsible, governing bodies or the state?

Where should the line be drawn? A few punches traded between opposing forwards in a game of rugby & a physical assault on a pitch that leads to a court case? And does it matter of the action occurs on a Sunday morning in front of two men and a dog or in front of 65,000 spectators & a nationwide TV audience?

Hillsborough disaster

Whose responsible for maintaining standards of behaviour? Elite sport has a huge potential to benefit society & culture BUT that same driving ambition can lead performers & all those associated with elite sport to use methods that succeed that in accordance with the ethical & legal standards.
