(Some) legal uncertainties related to doping

Sports Law is a relatively new, still developing branch of law which further complicates the resolution of every occurring problem. Furthermore, depending on the nature of things, problem resolution can become a problem in itself or even cause new problems. The authors here believe that this precisely is the problem with anti- doping measures. Doping is a recognized problem which all world sports are combatting at all levels in a very organized and mostly successful way. However, this battle in many ways means deviating from otherwise legally valid standards. Here, the authors' aim is to provide insight into the problem of doping and the battle against doping from a legal aspect and to help prevent certain legal issues as far as possible and to resolve existing ones more successfully. In particular, analysed are; issues with minimal legal education of all factors in sport including coaches and athletes, individualization of sanctions and burden of proof including the demanded level of certainty in regard to athlete responsibility
