LA INTERVENCIÓN ADMINISTRATIVA EN MATERIA DE DOPAJE DEPORTIVO A LA LUZ DE LA LEY ORGÁNICA 7/2006, DE 21 DE NOVIEMBRE, DE PROTECCIÓN DE LA SALUD Y DE LUCHA CONTRA EL DOPAJE EN EL DEPORTE

Abstract

The growing preoccupation with doping in sport, not only for the serious risk that it poses to public and individual health but also for the distorting of competition, has led to an everincreasing publification of the fight against doping within the frame of a classical public intervention in sport, joining in the already complex organizing scheme of international sport. The UNESCO International Convention against Doping in Sport, ratified by Spain and into force since February 2007, is the best example of this protagonism of Public International Law and the resulting international harmonization of control procedures in tune with the World Anti Doping Code, whose principles and technical standards are assimilated with a binding nature. A priviledge international context and comparative Law where the Organic Law 7/2006 appears, on the 21st November, fruit of the Spanish legislator’s resolute will to face the constant challenges of such practices from an integral and armonized perspective. In an effort to order the different aspects which compose the doping universe, the current article focuses on the national and administrative dimension of this phenomenun, glossing with a critic character the important reforms introduced by the new legal design.
