| Summary |
As commercialisation of sport grows, the need for regulation increases. In legal terms, sport is part of the entertainment and media industries which are globalised and subject to rapid change. This book brings together leading experts in many fields to analyse these changes and to discuss the implications of issues such as the BSkyB - Manchester United case, civil and criminal actions on the playing fields, the Bosman ruling, drugs in sport, the legality of boxing and the validity of decisions made by governing bodies |
