RESTORATIVE MEASURES IN THE REGULATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL SPORTS FEDERATIONS

Ilia Vasilyev Associate professor /Saint Petersburg State University

Abstract: At first glance, the content of restorative measures in sport seems to be more obvious than preventive measures. In reality, this is not entirely true. Restoration of the law is not limited only to the recognition of a certain right, as it might seem etymological. In the competition, the interests of many participants are intertwined and the committed misconduct inevitably affects the final result. Negative consequences for violating sports subjects may negatively affect other participants in the pyramid with whom they are affiliated and entail a forced redistribution of quotas for participation in international competitions. Finally, the restoration of the right may also consist of compensation for the damage caused by the misconduct. Certain doubts may arise about the law-restorative function of compensating for the costs of investigating violations, but thereby restoring the budget of the sports federation in the interests of holding competitions and implementing forms of support for athletes. The identification of remedial measures in regulation is possible with the help of a combination of analysis of legal techniques and a forecast of target-setting of measures, most of which are called sanctions by sports federations.
