Guarantees Provided to Athletes in Case of Suspension from Participation in International Sports Competitions

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of guarantees provided to athletes when they are suspended from participating in international sports competitions. In today's complex political and economic conditions, cases of athletes' suspension from participation in international competitions have become more frequent. If not so long ago the reason for such a suspension could only be strictly outlined by law reasons related to the violation of sports rules or labor discipline by an athlete, now such suspensions occur massively for various reasons. This leads to an aggravation of the relevance of the topic related to the provision of guarantees to athletes suspended from participating in international competitions. After all, in the case of suspension from participation in competitions for political reasons, there is no athlete's fault, unlike situations involving violation of sports rules or labor discipline. The current Russian labor legislation provides for mandatory guarantees for athletes in the event of their suspension from competitions. At the same time, the scope of the guarantees offered is directly dependent on the reasons for the suspension and on the level of guilt of the athlete and his staff. The purpose of the study is to study the guarantees provided for Russian athletes in case of suspension from competitions.
