ABSTRACT

Three institutions play a particular role in the Olympic system at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and were all created on the initiative of the IOC. They are, in chronological order of their creation, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and the IOC Ethics Commission. The institutions, which are presented in this chapter, constitute the embryonic form of a global regulation of world sport.
