Description
"I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, and neither is bread to the wise, nor wealth to the discerning, nor favour to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all." Ecclesiastes 9 verse 11 Not that long ago, at the end of the twentieth century, competition law made its entry into the world of sport. Sports regulations have been placed in a (European) competition law framework ever since because of conflicts between players or athletes and the association, between the clubs and the association, between the association and emerging other associations, or between the association and third parties such as broadcasting licence holders, etc. In 1999 the European Commission had to handle more than 50 sport-related complaints. Competition law is being used as an instrument to settle disputes in favour of the individual's own interests, the club's interests, or those of a third party (such as broadcasting licence holders), which are often diametrically opposed to the interests of the collective, the sports organization as a whole (chapter 16). Casting a side-glance at the development of applying competition law to sports regulations in the United States, one may assume that the trend to interfere using competition law wilt continue for the time being.
