Thursday, 3. March 2022, 16:00-20:00 JST (8:00 – 12:00 CET)In Summer 2021 Japan hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Top performances in sports are thefocus of world attention. Unfortunately, not all these performances are achieved by legal means. Dopingin sports is a salient issue that is often discussed in the news, especially during the Olympics. However,there are still many uncertainties regarding the appropriate legal response. The different approaches toself-doping serve as an example. In most countries, athletes who engage in such practices face only
sanctions from their national sport organizations, in other jurisdictions such practices are defined as
criminal offence and are prosecuted by specialized investigation teams. Doping rises fundamental
questions in various legal fields. Because of the international nature of sports, there is great need for an
in-depth comparative assessment and harmonised legal frameworks. In this Joint Workshop experts inthe field of doping and sportslaw will come together to analyse the existing antidoping regulations andlaws with the objective to identify strengths and shortcomings of the current legal framework and todraft model rules for national legislators.
The Joint Workshop focuses on four key topics which have been decided on the kick-off event inNovember. For each key topic there will be a short input presentations held by experts presenting thetopic from a Japanese and Swiss perspective. The input presentations are followed by a discussionsection where the plenum is encouraged to activly participate. The results of the workshop will then be
published in an edited volume and will be made available in an open access format.
