| 2. Rights for sportspersons |
|
| By extolling the moral virtues and the promise of sport, the Olympic Movement has become a beacon of support for the athletes’ rights movement, a site of grievance when injustices occur. Abuses to athletes and the denial of their rights are simply incompatible with the Movement’s stated spirit. Consequently the Olympic Movement has been an important venue for the advocacy, struggle for and subsequent realization of rights. The rights outlined below have been largely achieved, and institutionalized in national and international sport organizations. |
