Arbitration in Sports

Arbitration in sports is a process where athletes, teams, or organizations resolve disputes outside traditional courts, through a neutral arbitrator or panel. It provides a faster, confidential, and expert-driven way to settle issues like contract disagreements, doping allegations, or disciplinary actions. The decisions made through arbitration are typically binding and enforceable, offering a final resolution without the lengthy and formal court process. Sports arbitration helps maintain fairness, integrity, and efficiency in managing conflicts within the sporting community.
