Supreme Court to stage Olympic exhibition
The Supreme Court is to stage a unique exhibition, Playing by the Rules, on the Olympics and sports law this summer. It will chart the history of sport and the law, covering such issues as ethics, anti-doping, commercialisation, branding and the role of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, as well as profiling some famous lawyer Olympians, including the rower Lord Moynihan and Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards.
Andy Gray, head of De Montfort University’s sports law unit, which is mounting the exhibition, said: “The role of the law in sport tends to only make the headlines when things go wrong.”
The free exhibition opens in July, a week before the start of the Olympics.
