Regulating International Sport
Martinus Nijhoff (Verlag)
978-90-04-37978-7 (ISBN)
In a fresh and original account, Lloyd Freeburn challenges the conventional conception of contracts as the consent-based legal foundation of international sports law. The prevailing legal orthodoxy is shown to be untenable, failing to explain or justify international sports governing bodies’ regulatory power or their control over the livelihoods and liberty of participants in sport. The non-consensual jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport is similarly tainted.
But this significant challenge is not made simply to undermine international sport’s regulatory regime. A sound legal foundation for regulatory authority in sport is both desirable and necessary. Consequently, effective reform is urgently required to support the regime’s legality and to give it legitimacy by resolving the regime’s democratic deficit.
Lloyd Freeburn, Ph.D. (2018), University of Melbourne, is a Senior Fellow at that university lecturing in event management law. He has published various articles concerning sports law including contributing to the sports law section of Halsbury’s Laws of Australia.
