Abstract
The protection of fair competition or, broadly speaking, protection of the public interest of sports is a central aspect of all modern sports ruling as well as a direct purpose of regulatory functions of sports governing bodies (SGBs). This study addresses the challenges and opportunities for the application of sports rules and regulations that are provided by self-regulation of SGBs, particularly with regard to fair competition, equality, integrity, disciplines and ethics in sports. The discussion addresses the ways in which self-regulation of the SGBs relies on the autonomy of sports for providing regulatory and sanctioning functions and for setting out levels of transparency, accountability and integrity in sports, with a focus on professionalization and standardisation of sports, as well as on the possibility of developing a common set of rules and regulations in sports. These build a foundation in the public interest protection in sports by ruling sports in England. The main objective of sports governance in England is to increase autonomy of sports ruling to protect the common interests of sports participants and create a sense of responsibility for sports stakeholders in running their commercial and businesses activities. This study particularly examines the effectiveness of the regulations and legal aspects that govern the sports industry in ensuring that the public interest of sports is adequately protected in the English legal system. It evaluates the scope for any practice of safeguarding participants of activities and competitions, and the public, against unfair practices in sports.
