Arbitrating Disputes in a Modern Sports World

On 5 and 6 September 2014, the 5th edition of the Sports Law Conference organized every two years by the Swiss Bar association and the Court of Arbitration for Sport took place in Lausanne. This book contains the contributions made by well-known speakers at the Conference, which, as already its title reveals, was focused on current challenges of sports-related litigation. For instance, presentations were made regarding the first experiences with the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code. Also, a vast amount of case law was reviewed, including the jurisprudence of the Swiss Tribunal Federal concerning sports arbitral awards, CAS cases in football and in "non-football" matters. Finally, issues relating to the enforcement of a CAS award and matters that every practitioner acting before CAS should know were part of the programme and are included in this publication.
