We provide comprehensive legal advice to the Czech Anti-Doping Committee, particularly in the areas of labor law, compliance, public procurement and tax advisory.
A framework agreement for the provision of legal services has been concluded.
Miloš Olík, Vilém Podešva, Martin Janoušek and Michal Čáp have extensive experience as arbitrators in the Board of Arbitrators of the Football Association of the Czech Republic (FAČR). They decide mainly on property disputes between players, football clubs, and the clubs themselves. Miloš Olík is also its chairman.
We represented a leading Czech athlete in a doping case in proceedings before the disciplinary committee of the national sports union and before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
In doping proceedings, we successfully obtained a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for the client. This exemption permits the use of a substance that is otherwise prohibited for health reasons, subject to stringent conditions. The granting of the TUE successfully concluded the doping proceedings for the client, and the association did not impose any of its typical sanctions, such as a multiyear ban on activities.
We contributed to the issuance of an acquittal verdict by the Disciplinary Committee of the Slovak Athletic Federation in the case of Matej Tóth, a gold medalist in race walking from the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The committee decided that the athlete did not violate any anti-doping regulations. Tóth faced sanctions for alleged violations of anti-doping rules due to ambiguities in his biological passport
