Description
This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the ways in which the law has impacted on how sport is played, administered and consumed. The author writes in a clear and engaging manner, tracing the origins and sources of this rapidly evolving subject and drawing examples from a wide range of professional and amateur sports to illustrate the important current debates and topics of interest. The book covers a wide-range of topics from participant and non-participant liability, fighting sports and their legality, and liability for stadium safety and disasters. The final section of the book takes in the very latest developments in mass-event sport and the growing but fundamental area of sports commercialisation. New to this Edition: - Fully updated and includes analyses of the Pechstein and Sharapova decisions - Includes details on the state aid rulings on financial support for Spanish and Dutch football clubs - The author includes a review of the Rio 2016 Olympics
