Abstract
AbstractThe CAS case PSV Eindhoven v. UEFA deals with a very important issue in sports law: strict liability. In that case, the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body had inflicted a fine (amounting to CHF 30,000) to PSV Eindhoven because of racist incidents which had occurred during the match Eindhoven–Arsenal on September 25, 2002 (in particular, a group of supporters were screaming like monkeys in Thierry Henry’s direction). On appeal by the UEFA Disciplinary Inspector, the UEFA Appeals Body increased the fine to CHF 50’000 and issued a clear warning that a severe sanction would be applied to the club in case of repeated offence.KeywordsCivil CodeStrict LiabilityFederal SupremeSport FederationBlack PlayerThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
