The Definitive Guide to Sports Arbitration
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has long been recognized as the supreme authority in sports-related dispute resolution, providing a fast, cost-effective, and independent forum for settling conflicts in the sporting world. Since its inception in 1984, CAS has built an unparalleled reputation, with its rulings shaping the landscape of international sports law.
This fully revised and updated edition of the comprehensive commentary offers an in-depth, article-by-article analysis of the CAS Rules, providing an essential guide for practitioners, arbitrators, and scholars alike. Drawing on key CAS and Swiss Federal Tribunal case law, internal CAS practices, and international arbitration principles, the CAS Commentary navigates through the complexities of sports arbitration with clarity and precision. This second edition features new template documents and a brand new chapter on the CAS ad hoc Rules and the Rules of the CAS Anti-Doping Division during the Olympic Games.
Key topics include:

- establishing CAS jurisdiction and ensuring compliance with procedural requirements;

- drafting valid requests for arbitration and statements of appeal;

- understanding the applicable law and procedural framework in CAS cases;

- provisional measures, procedural safeguards, and legal remedies;

- conducting ordinary and appeals arbitration before CAS;

- latest jurisprudence from the Swiss Federal Tribunal on CAS-related matters;

- cost considerations, legal aid, and practical guidance for all stakeholders; and

- understanding the CAS ad hoc proceedings during the Olympic Games.

Covering landmark CAS rulings on contractual disputes, disciplinary sanctions, eligibility, and governance, this book is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the evolving field of sports arbitration.
With its insightful commentary and practical approach, this book not only clarifies the CAS arbitration process but also offers innovative procedural solutions that can be adapted to international arbitration beyond sports law.
