20.500.12556/DKUM-98963 The right to freedom of expression of athletes between law and sporting regulations The right to freedom of expression of athletes: between law and sporting regulations In this article, the author examines the legal justification for excluding political, religious, and racial expression by athletes. The analysis is grounded in the standards developed by the European Court of Human Rights regarding permissible restrictions on the right to freedom of expression, as well as in the application of a structured test to assess whether interferences with that right are legally justified. The article further provides a case-based analysis of examples that have shaped the scope of athletes’ freedom of expression, offering insight into the sanctions imposed on athletes for expressive conduct. Particular attention is devoted to the distinction between prohibited and permissible forms of expression, both at sports venues and within the athlete’s private or personal sphere. The article concludes by critically questioning the legal sustainability of a blanket prohibition on ideological expression by athletes at sporting events. sports governing bodies prohibition of political religious and racial expression Olympic Charter European Convention on Human Rights European Court of Human Rights true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2026-07-22 03:06:55 2026-07-22 13:27:04 2026-07-23 03:10:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 323-354 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 347.9:796 285400835 285537795 10.18690/um.pf.1.2026.14 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/sl/catalog/book/1141/chapter/1369 1 a2398391-8569-11f1-a66a-00155d580e34 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=208489 The+Right+to+Freedom+of+Expression+of+Athletes_+Between+Law+and+Sporting+Regulations_(1).pdf The+Right+to+Freedom+of+Expression+of+Athletes_+Between+Law+and+Sporting+Regulations_(1).pdf 1 2AE768FF56EA064490CC617055F0890D 2068cc42113bf63ddaacff7a36bc9050aa582d8a3f84ff51e3be2882b069766f 4040cbaf-85c0-11f1-a66a-00155d580e34 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=208509 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
