International Forum "Football 30" held 9th on September 2021 in Kyiv.
"Juris Ferrum" LF partner and sports attorney Ganna Gnizdovska performed with an article "Doping disputes in professional football: jurisdictional aspects".
Forum organizers:
- All-Ukrainian association of professional football players;
- Center in European Studies and department of civil procedure Faculty of Law, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv;
- The Research Center of Eastern European and Central Asian Law Faculty of Law and Administration of Warsaw University.
Ganna Gnizdovska emerged online although planned to be personally attended at the Forum, but there was an urgent hearing in doping cases in synchronized swimming. It wasn’t an obstacle to share knowledge and experience with colleagues and listen reports of other specialists.
During her presentation, Ganna Gnizdovska:
- addressed the challenges of resolving doping disputes in professional football;
- highlighted jurisdictional issues in this area;
- analyzed key cases and CAS decisions related to doping in football.
Forum participants discussed football law because this issue is still under discussion.
Someone believes that football law doesn’t exist as a separate branch, others recognize it is important and requires development.
We consider that sports law, including football law, has own specifics and needs advanced study.
Thanks to Forum organizers for the opportunity to make a speech and contribute to the relevant discussion.
