Rights and Obligations: A Handbook for Athletes and Sport Organizations provides an overview of athletes’ rights and how they must be respected in athlete selection, discipline and appeal procedures. Chapters include What the Law Says and Applying the Legal Principles, so clearly the emphasis is on ensuring that sport organizations understand and apply the law to create fair procedures and dealings with athletes. This brief handbook is ideal for distribution to every member of a volunteer Board of Directors to ensure they have a grounding in athletes rights issues. Like all books in the Centre for Sport and Law series, there is a wealth of practical examples and precedents from Canadian case law. The few minutes required to read this book now could save hours in appeals later.
