Leading legal minds tackle athlete representation and rules for transgender athletes at LawAccord
Posted on February 15, 2024
LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND – Legal experts tackling topical legal issues confronting IFs including athlete representation, rules for transgender athletes in international sport and how to ensure integrity in decision-making will come together at LawAccord, one of the four specialist streams at this year’s SportAccord World Sport & Business Summit.
There will also be an opportunity to get the inside track on institutional developments, with a presentation and Q&A session from Matthieu Reeb, Director General of the Court of Arbitration for Sport; and Ross Wenzel, General Counsel at the World Anti-Doping Agency. The Sports Law Practice Group from Swiss law firm Kellerhals Carrard will provide an update on recent decisions from the European Court of Justice.
Sport’s most influential industry gathering will take place from 7 to 11 April in Birmingham – West Midlands and bring together more than 1,500 leaders and key decision makers from over 120 International Federations (IFs), the International Olympic Committee and organisations involved in the business of sport.
Meet the speakers!
Hear from sports law experts, including Áine Power, Deputy Legal Director at the International Equestrian Federation, who will share insights on involving athletes when drafting rules:
“The ‘best’ rules are those that are formulated and drafted further to thorough consultation with the relevant stakeholders. It goes without saying that athletes are the key stakeholders in our sport – no athletes, no sport. Therefore, it is essential that we hear from the athletes as part of the rule revision process, it helps us ensure that our rules are fit for purpose.”
Prof Yannis Pitsiladis, Professor of Sport and Exercise Science at Hong Kong Baptist University and member of the IOC Medical and Scientific Commission, will provide a scientific perspective on regulating the participation of transgender athletes in elite sport:
“Establishing policy for the inclusion of transgender athletes in elite sport is immensely challenging due to the need for a fair and non-discrimination policy of integration (inclusion), while considering physiological differences, hormone treatments and sport-specific demands, requiring nuanced assessments amidst our evolving scientific understanding.”
Tanja Haug, Board Member of the Biathlon Integrity Unit will address the need for independent decision-making in international sport:
“In sport, independent models are needed in all areas where integrity is at stake – where adherence to ethical values, unbiased decision-making, avoidance of conflicts of interest, accountability and transparency are crucial to ensure good governance and protect athletes and the future of sport. This applies in particular to the areas of anti-doping, safeguarding, competition manipulation, anti-corruption, vetting and election monitoring.”

提起大學,人們通常會想到學習和研究。在浸大,學生在追求學問之餘,體育運動亦是他們大學生活中重要的部分。浸大設有 24 支運動隊伍讓學生發揮運動技巧和才能,並進行運動科學的研究,以及提供全面多元的運動科學和運動管理課程,為香港體育界培訓人才。
浸大全力支持香港體育運動發展,在2016年設立「精英運動員入學計劃」,為香港出色運動員提供彈性學習安排。大學於2022年配合大學教育資助委員會開展的「學生運動員學習支援及入學計劃」,推出「優才運動員入學計劃」。
奧運金牌劍擊運動員張家朗是透過「優才運動員入學計劃」入讀浸大的優秀運動員之一。 家朗既要兼顧學業,又要參與國際劍擊賽事,大學生活日程緊密,全賴浸大為他提供靈活的課堂安排,讓他能夠維持學習進度。
家朗說:「因為我會經常在海外比賽,所以浸大根據我的需要作出特別安排,以免比賽和功課、考試時間重疊。另外,教學助理輔助我制定學習時間表,確保學習進度良好。」
不論在運動還是學業上,努力從來都是運動員的成功關鍵。手球運動員兼體育及康樂管理課程學生張家豪表示,學生運動員要兼顧學業,同時進行高水平的訓練,經常面對不少壓力。他很慶幸浸大為學生運動員提供學業諮詢、心理培育和生涯規劃。他說:「大學的支援令我們更有信心和動力去面對不同的挑戰。我相信這些措施,對運動員的成長與發展非常重要,亦體現出浸大對學生的關心與支持。」

劍手晉身中醫之路 助運動員保健療傷
[浸大通訊]
梁雅蕾在五歲時,經過商場偶然見到劍擊班,從此改變了她的人生方向。她說:「穿着劍擊裝備的劍手們看起來很帥氣,於是我告訴爸爸,我也想試試看。」
她對劍擊的熱愛與日俱增,並在13 歲開始加入中國香港劍擊隊。她於2022 年首次參加亞洲青少年劍擊錦標賽,勇奪青年組女子花劍個人與團體金牌,最近則在2023亞洲23歲以下劍擊錦標賽奪得女子花劍團體銅牌。
這位年輕花劍運動員力爭佳績,現正朝向她的兩大夢想出發:爭取奧運參賽席位,以及成為一名中醫師,照顧運動員的健康並協助他們克服傷患。
立志行醫幫助運動員
劍擊運動起源於決鬥,幸好現代劍擊的受傷率相對較低。儘管如此,劍擊運動員仍有可能因過度訓練而受傷,如拉傷、扭傷和肌肉痠痛。雅蕾認為,傷患會為專業運動員帶來深遠影響。
她表示:「運動員若受傷,康復過程或需要很長時間,影響他們的狀態和排名。所以,我希望能夠為運動員提供優質的醫療服務,助他們恢復過來。」
因應對運動醫學的興趣,雅蕾慢慢認識到傳統中醫學,發現其歷史源遠流長,講求陰陽五行學說,既有效預防慢性疾病,又可調養身體。她認為,推拿和針灸等中醫療法能夠幫助運動員療傷。
雅蕾不但對劍擊專心一致,而且對學業同樣認真。她立志修讀中醫學,由今年起透過浸大「優才運動員入學計劃」入讀中醫學學士及生物醫學理學士(榮譽)學位課程。浸大配合大學教育資助委員會開展的「學生運動員學習支援及入學計劃」,推出「優才運動員入學計劃」。除了提供彈性學習安排,浸大亦為香港精英運動員提供個人化輔導、學業建議、心理諮詢和生涯規劃。
負責協調對精英運動員的支援的運動、體育及健康學系一級講師韓思思博士表示,雅蕾很有決心在學業上追求卓越表現。韓博士說:「雅蕾修讀中醫的意志堅決,我們亦樂意見到學生迎難而上。大學將為雅蕾提供支援,幫助她兼顧學業與運動雙軌發展。」

運動和學業不斷求進
作為一名學生運動員,雅蕾必須平衡學業和訓練。在兼顧學業的同時,她還要進行高水平的訓練,日程緊密,但仍享受其中。
她說:「平衡運動與學業有助自己繼續前進。在學習上有壓力時,我可以通過打劍來抒發;打劍時遇上壓力,亦可以專心溫習消解。我挺享受大學生活。」
雅蕾認真制定時間表,決定事情的優先次序,有效分配時間。另外,她亦盡量在校園廣交朋友,參加不同課外學習活動。
中醫藥學院副教授關曉儀博士表示,學院會支援雅蕾兼顧學業與訓練日程,在有需要時可錄製課堂,並提供一對一面授指導。關博士說:「雅蕾學習態度積極,會主動提問,亦展現自律、堅毅,以及努力地達成目標等運動員的特質。這些質素對她在運動與學業上爭取好成績大有幫助。」
雅蕾接下來的目標是多參與成人賽事,希望日後爭取參加奧運會,並在將來成為一名成功的中醫師,幫助有需要的運動員。她說:「我希望可以發揮最佳水準,確立自己在世界舞台的定位。有明確目標讓我做事更有動力。」
