Haftung im Spitzensport und AntiDopG

Doping is and remains a profound problem in top-class sport. The question of whether and how those involved in top-level sport can take civil action against a doped athlete is therefore more topical than ever. The dissertation deals with these civil liability consequences and considers, in particular, the effects resulting from the AntiDopG, which has been in force since the end of 2015.
The author initially addresses the question of the applicability of German liability law to international cases. Building on this, the work presents contractual, pre-contractual, tortious, tort and enrichment claims against the doping athlete and examines the consequences of the AntiDopG for these claims. The work also deals with the question of how the civil liability extended by the AntiDopG has a preventive influence on doping behaviour in top-level sport and how this supports the anti-doping fight by means of civil law.
