LIMITS OF STATE INTERVENTION AND NON-INTERVENTION IN THE SPORTS FIELD

The present article analyses the limits of state intervention and nonintervention in the sports field. The authors underscore the conditions that legally and practically define a need for state involvement in sports management. They also describe the principle of sports autonomy. The principle of sports autonomy reflects independence from public authorities (including both federal and local, or municipal, authorities). This principle is one of the most basic principles in professional sports. This principle enables the systematization and delimitation of the relations between individuals, society, and government in the sports field, while preventing or reducing any imbalance in such relations. Thus, the key feature of interrelation between public administration and self-administration in the sports field is the limitation (restriction) of public administration. The principle of sports autonomy should also encompass the existence of autonomous extra-legal regulation in the sports field. However, a state not only possesses public interests, but also maintains administrative functions, in this field. In modern professional sports, the development of sustainable public relations that function in line with public interests cannot be accomplished without public administration, including administrative, criminal, and civil law regulation in the sports field.
