15. Sport & the law

16. 1 – Law in relation to performers 2 – Law in relation to officials & spectators 3 – Law in relation to managers etc. Pop corn reading

17. Elite sport & the law have become more entwined. As elite sport becomes more commercialised & more a part of the news & entertainment industry, the stakes become higher for players, officials & spectators BOSMAN RULING – the ruling by the European Court of Justice, giving a professional player the right to a free transfer at the end of their contract

18. Therefore any transgression by individuals involved in sport are more likely to attract more attention of the police & the courts Players, team managers, match officials, agents & negotiators now need to be WELL VERSED in the law so that they know how to stay within it SPORT LAW – the body of legislation, case law, and precedence that applies to sport

19. Determine rules • Self regulate their sport • Sport act as its own law maker, judge & jury – immune from the normal legal process BUT are having to increasingly operate within normal legal systems The law on the pitch – who is responsible, governing bodies or the state? National sport governing bodies want to hold their own right

20. A few punches traded between opposing forwards in a game of rugby & a physical assault on a pitch that leads to a court case? And does it matter of the action occurs on a Sunday morning in front of two men and a dog or in front of 65,000 spectators & a nationwide TV audience? Where should the line be drawn?

21. Hillsborough disaster

22. Elite sport has a huge potential to benefit society & culture BUT that same driving ambition can lead performers & all those associated with elite sport to use methods that succeed that in accordance with the ethical & legal standards. Whose responsible for maintaining standards of behaviour?
