This book accounts for over 25 of the most influential cases in
international sports law, as written by some of the leading authorities
in the area. Authors from Europe, the United States, Australia, South
Africa, Canada and New Zealand trace the evolution of this emerging
discipline of law through an analysis of individual cases, as discussed
under a number of key debates and themes in contemporary sports law,
including: the "public" nature of legal disputes in sport; player
employment mobility litigation; doping and the spirit of sport; TV
rights holding proceedings; and enduring themes in sports law such as
on-field violence, spectator safety, animal welfare and gender equality.
Valuable for sports law academics, arbitrators and practitioners, sports
administrators and governing bodies, but also for students (postgraduate
and undergraduate) and all those with an interest in international
sports law.
