| Abstract [eng] |
Sport is a complex competition-based social phenomenon with inner and outer conflicts, – key features of sport are not only physical and intellectual growth, tolerance and equality. For instance, permanent rivalry and prominence of victories can lead to foul play. therefore the reverse as well as direct link between sport and criminal behaviour exists. The main menaces in sport are cheating, violence and corruption. It is complicated to handle these dangers inter alia due to unfitted legal grounding, commercialization and tacit agreements between sportsmen, coaches, doctors and politicians to achieve certain strategic goals. From the legal point of view, most precisely regulated violation at sport field is doping. It is hard to fight against doping inter alia because of complex testing and keeping procedures, it should also be pointed out that usually performance enhancing methods are firstly invented and only afterwards detected and banned. Violence between athletes is quite a specific issue, – here the common principles (not make harm, not cause pain) are suspended because a state accepts sport as risky activity. Corruption in sports in principle does not strongly differentiate from corruption in politics, medicine or gamble. these insights let to make an assumption that criminal behaviour in sports though has certain peculiarities, does not extremely differ from criminal behaviour in other fields. |
