With a Foreword by Hein Verbruggen, UCI Honorary President for life and IOC Member This book deals with the legal position of the athlete in doping cases under the law of the regulations of national and international sports federations and how this legal position can be reinforced. According to the rules of the sports organizations applicable to doping offences, where prohibited substances are found in athlete’s bodily fluids the athlete in question is strictly liable for a doping offence. In the disciplinary procedure there is no discussion about his guilt and the athlete is not given an opportunity to disprove his guilt. One of the starting points of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) is that suspects are not guilty until their guilt has been proven conclusively based on the law, which includes the right of defence. The author analyzes the nature of doping offences and puts forward arguments in favour of the application of the rights of the defence as laid down in the ECHR in disciplinary doping proceedings. In his argumentation he also addresses the procedural system of sanctions and the practical and economic consequences the sanctions may have for the athlete concerned. As not only the athlete himself, but also sports clubs and sponsors may suffer serious damage from such sanctions, this book on the strict liability principle will be of great interest to practitioners and academics in more than one field of law. Moreover, it will be a welcome addition to the literature and the continuing debate on doping in sport, which is a matter of great concern to many interested parties.

A Critical Appraisal of the Concept Strict Liability in WADA Code available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
