A REVIEW ON DOPING IN SPORTS IN TERMS OF SPORTS LAW AND PENAL LAW IN THE LIGHT OF INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION

Abstract

Objective: the main objective of this paper is to study on the offense of doping in history and how it is regulated in international law in terms of both sports law and penal law. Methods of research: general scientific, philosophical and specially-legal methods of scientific research have been used. A system analysis method has been used to determine sports law, doping. A dogmatic method was valuable to formulate conclusions and recommendations of practical character within the research issues concerning the prevention of doping use in sport. Results: doping has been a method used by mankind for centuries B.C. However, the movement against doping has only started in the 20^th Century, and with the workings of the sports federations, the States and international organizations, a union is trying to be achieved in the fight against doping. A unity has mostly been reached by the means of WADA and the prohibited substances and method lists updated every year, nevertheless, to create a full unity, an effective control mechanism must be applied. The prevention of the application of doping or the imposing of the necessary sanctions are a matter of right implementation of the law. Discussion: it was based on whether the current regulations were effective enough to fight against the use of doping.
