http://gibbsbarrister.blogspot.com/2013/04/suarez-biting-hand-that-feeds.html

Discuss the latest sports law issues. Sunday, 21 April 2013. Suarez Biting the Hand that Feeds. Epilogue 26.4.13. Suarez received a ban of 10 games from the FA Independent Regulatory Commission (IRC). Suarez was immediately said to be considering his future in the English game notwithstanding that the ban is likely to be effective worldwide. I have no idea how much Luis Suarez has earned from football. I accept that he is a very talented player. I was slightly perturbed that he was recently named...Heave...

http://gibbsbarrister.blogspot.com/2013/03/can-danish-kaneria-evade-ban.html

Discuss the latest sports law issues. Thursday, 7 March 2013. Can Danish Kaneria Evade Ban? The answer to the question posed above was delivered today 26/4/13. The ECB Panel accepted Westfield's testimony before them and found Kaneria to be lying and giving an implausible account. A witness summons may be issued in the High Court or a county court in aid of a court or tribunal which does not have the power to issue a witness summons in relation to the proceedings before it. The appeal is not ordinarily b...

Discuss the latest sports law issues. Monday, 25 March 2013. Nirvana - How to Combat Racism in Football? Although Nirvana is a magical word with many different meanings and important spiritual connotations, for present purposes I am going to use just 2: liberation and salvation. Last week I attended an inspiring and moving event in Leicester entitled 'Race for Football - National Road Show 2013'. It was organised by Leicester Nirvana FC. Regrettably I also spoke to one attendees who seemed to only want t...

gibbsbarrister sportslaw: Rugby's Disciplinary Priorities Askew?

http://gibbsbarrister.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-dark-art-of-spitting.html

Discuss the latest sports law issues. Tuesday, 9 April 2013. Rugby's Disciplinary Priorities Askew? I sometimes wonder how Sporting Bodies and their disciplinary panels arrive at some of their decisions and I have to question the guidelines which they purport to follow.

Discuss the latest sports law issues. Thursday, 14 March 2013. Liar, Liar - Should Polygraph Evidence be used in Sports Tribunals? The polygraph measures a person's physiological responses (eg pulse, respiration, blood flow etc). The theory is that a person's natural fear of being caught out in a lie will result in increased physiological responses when answering the relevant questions as opposed to when answering the control questions. 14 March 2013 at 06:16. Relying on polygraph results for any purpose...

http://gibbsbarrister.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Discuss the latest sports law issues. Wednesday, 21 November 2012. The only way for Ferrari to improve Alonso's grid placing and also to move him to the advantageous side of the track was to effectively shunt Massa aside. They achieved this before the race by blatantly taking advantage of a F1 rule designed to curb expenditure on equipment during the course of the season. The rule states:. Massa 'generously' accepted this. It was apparently a team decision. What choice did Massa have in reality? The cons...
