This comprehensive book delves into the examination of coercive measures that sports organizations are authorized to employ as part of their internal sports investigation proceedings to investigate sports rule violations. The legality of these coercive measures is assessed against the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The book explores a crucial issue, namely the applicability of the ECHR to private sports organizations, a topic that is currently subject to widespread debate within the field of sports law. The ECHR serves as the analytical framework, offering valuable insights for jurisdictions beyond the scope of its application. Furthermore, the book investigates the potential for sports organizations and law enforcement agencies to exchange intelligence in support of both internal sports investigation proceedings and criminal investigations. Throughout, the work strives to strike a delicate balance between the interests of sports organizations in enforcing sports rules and the rights of athletes and other sportspersons. This book will be an invaluable resource for students, academics, and policy-makers engaged in the study of Sports Law and Human Rights Law.
