Abstract
After acquainting ourselves with the rulings of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, it can be concluded that professional athletes regularly turn to the arbitration court in connection with their human rights violations. The number of professional athletes today is high enough to draw attention to the fact that there are several human rights restrictions and violations in professional sports. Taking into account that human rights are not absolute and can be limited, the author will evaluate the extent and necessity of restrictions on the athlete’s human rights. The purpose of the study is to investigate who a professional athlete is and what human rights restrictions they face in their everyday life, as well as to find a solution for a reduction of these restrictions and to make certain proposals. The study concludes that the characteristics of human rights restrictions are evident in the daily life of a professional athlete, but that no measures are taken to allow the number of human rights restrictions to be reduced. A professional athlete shall be subject to special conditions, but it is necessary to assess their rights and obligations in order to be proportionate. Keywords: human rights; professional athlete; sports rights.
