In the International Sporting events the number of the cases involving doping, are on an alarming rise and at this juncture, where the law of sport regarding doping are in a premature state it is very important that the law not escape critical analysis. The law of sport as it is being developed has taken a lot of elements from various other branches of law, and one of these branches are the common principles of the law of Tort. The inception of the concept of strict liability lies in the jurisprudence of the English courts and now has found its way into different legal systems and branches and thus warrants criticism and suggestions as it attains acceptability in this field of sports law. The first document to harmonize anti-doping regulations around the world recognized the fundamental rights of athletes to participate in a doping-free sport and applied the principle of strict liability to maintain high standards of fairness. The object of this paper is to examine the inconsistencies associated with doping control and explains the inequity which results from such inconsistent application of the principle of strict liability. This is achieved through an analysis of the WADA code and the interrelationship with the principle of strict liability and an examination of a recent case of the much celebrated Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador.

I am very pleased and proud to write the Foreword to this Book on the occasion of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) having completed its first twenty years of operations. And I warmly congratulate the ASSER International Sports Law Centre and the Editors, Ian Blackshaw, Rob Siekmann and Janwillem Soek – in cooperation with Andrew Gibson, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, and Steve Cornelius, University of Johannesburg, South Africa –, on their joint initiative in putting together and publishing this Book. The CAS has come a long way since the idea of establishing it was first mentioned by Juan Antonio Samaranch, the former IOC President. His vision and confidence in its future have been truly vindicated. Since its creation and up to 31 December 2003, 576 cases have been submitted, of which 550 were requests for arbitration and 26 for an advisory opinion. In 2004, there was a sharp rise in the number of cases handled by the CAS and this trend continues apace. Thus, the CAS goes from strength to strength and has a great future, having, in the words of the Swiss Federal Tribunal in its landmark judgement of 27 May 2003, “built up the trust of the sporting world [and] . . . now widely recognised . . . [as] . . . one of the principal mainstays of organised sport.

Download and read online ebook Evidence in Anti-Doping at the Intersection of Science & Law write by Marjolaine Viret. This book was released on 2015-10-31. Evidence in Anti-Doping at the Intersection of Science & Law available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is a comprehensive, practice-oriented guide to the evidentiary regime under the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) including the functioning of the Athlete Biological Passport. It is the first to show how the interplay between science and law affects the collection and evaluation of evidence in anti-doping, and how paradigm shifts in anti-doping strategies may modify evidentiary assumptions implicit to the WADC regime. Unique in its dealing with the subtleties of anti-doping science and legal implications, the book gives lawyers involved in anti-doping the keys to a better understanding of the science underlying the WADC regime, while providing anti-doping scientists with the first reference material to understand the legal framework in which their activities are embedded. The emphasis of the book is on international doping cases and it relies predominantly on CAS awards published up to Spring 2015. Written by an experienced Swiss lawyer it provides an insight into the Swiss legal system and its importance for the legal practice in doping matters. Marjolaine Viret is an attorney-at-law in Geneva, Switzerland, specialising in sports and health law. She has gained significant experience in sports arbitration as a senior associate in one of Switzerland’s leading law firms. She also holds positions within committees in sport, in particular as a member of the UCI Anti-Doping Commission. Ms Viret had her doctorate on anti-doping approved summa cum laude in 2015. She participates as a researcher in a project for a commentary of the 2015 WADC funded by the National Science Foundation and is regularly invited to lecture or speak in various fields of sports law. The book appears in the ASSER International Sports Law Series, under the editorship of Dr. Dave McArdle, Prof. Dr. Ben Van Rompuy and Marco A. van der harst LL.M.
