RESTORATIVE MEASURES IN THE REGULATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL SPORTS FEDERATIONS

Abstract

In this article, the author investigated the sanctions of some international sports federations. These sports organizations do not consistently classify coercive measures. All measures are called sanctions, but they are not always so. The criterion is the negative consequences for the subjects of sports: their content, orientation, the degree of influence on the rights of a particular subject. Allocation of restorative measures will allow revising the approaches of federations to their disciplinary policy. Legal restorative measures should differ from sanctions in their goal – not to be a punishment for the subject of sports, but to restore the rights and legitimate interests of other subjects of sports at the expense of restrictions for the offender. The classification of coercive measures in sport will allow international sports federations to use a more flexible approach to take into account the values of sport and the interests of all actors involved.
