Beweisanforderungen in der internationalen Sportschiedsgerichtsbarkeit vor dem Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)

Due to the nature of the sport, in particular the proof of doping, the requirements that are placed on the evidence before the CAS are unique. For the detection of violations of anti-doping regulations, in addition to the analytical, the non-analytical evidence is comprehensively analyzed.
In addition, there is a naturally existing imbalance between athletes and associations, in which an athlete's complaint can have the effect of a “David versus Goliath” fight. Therefore, when examining the individual standard of proof, a focus is always placed on maintaining equality.
Overall, the work offers orientation for users and suggestions for amendments by showing potential for improvement.
