Abstract
The article substantiates the actualization of the problem of protecting the rights of Russian athletes in view of the sanctions pressure that has fallen on Russia in recent years due to the adverse impact of political factors. It is concluded that it is important to focus on improving the mechanisms of alternative settlement of sports conflicts in Russia due to the fact that it is the system of sports arbitration that is the most appropriate lever of protection in this area. The main types of sports disputes and basic ways of their settlement are considered. Based on the legal practice of developed foreign jurisdictions, certain best practices in the field of the formation of sports arbitration institutions were adopted. The changes made to the Russian legislation in the context of the creation of a new national sports arbitration in Russia were analyzed, some legislative provisions were considered through the prism of reasonable criticism. Followed by the proposal of alternative solutions to the identified problematic issues. The insufficient effectiveness of the protection of the rights of Russian athletes in the international arbitration of Lausanne, which acts as a key link of this mechanism, is substantiated. At the same time, the proposals on leveling the primacy of the decisions of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on the territory of Russia were perceived by an unnecessarily categorical decision. The need to develop a more flexible approach to avoiding the "monopoly" jurisdiction of the CAS by introducing alternative ways of resolving the conflict into the very statutory documentation of international federations by contacting the CAS or another authorized international arbitration organization is proved. In addition, it is proposed to abandon the rule on the closed list of CAS arbitrators, leaving it in force only for the presiding person. This step in the future will increase the transparency and impartiality of the activities of this institute. In other words, a more balanced solution would be not to categorically deny the competence of CAS in Russia, but to develop adaptive alternative options. The conclusions of the scientific work are constructed on the basis of a comprehensive, functional, systematic and comparative methodology.
