Abstract

Athletes are not just sports people; they are certainly among the most prominent figures of their present time, playing an important role in shaping opinions with their power to inspire. For this very reason, athletes’ freedom of expression is strongly limited by the sport authorities in light of the fundamental principle of sport neutrality. This study analyses and questions the traditional constraints to athletes’ free speech by taking into consideration the role of human rights in sports legal order and in sporting affairs. By assuming an emerging relativization of sport political neutrality, the essay investigates the case-law concerning athletes’ freedom of expression identifying limits and perspectives of the current evolutions on athletes’ public statements, establishing to what extent a reform of the present sporting regulation on freedom of expression is needed.

运动员的言论自由:体育的相对政治中立性

运动员不仅仅是体育人；他们无疑是当今时代最杰出的人物之一，以其鼓舞人心的力量在塑造舆论方面发挥着重要作用。正是出于这个原因，根据体育中立的基本原则，运动员的言论自由受到体育当局的严格限制。本研究通过考虑人权在体育法律秩序和体育事务中的作用，分析和质疑对运动员言论自由的传统限制。通过假设体育政治中立性的相对化，本文调查了有关运动员言论自由的判例法，确定了当前运动员公开声明演变的局限性和视角，确定了在多大程度上需要对现行体育言论自由法规进行改革。

期刊介绍： Launched in 2001, Human Rights Law Review seeks to promote awareness, knowledge, and discussion on matters of human rights law and policy. While academic in focus, the Review is also of interest to the wider human rights community, including those in governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental spheres, concerned with law, policy, and fieldwork. The Review publishes critical articles that consider human rights in their various contexts, from global to national levels, book reviews, and a section dedicated to analysis of recent jurisprudence and practice of the UN and regional human rights systems.
