The recognition of <strong>Sportrecht</strong> as a distinct field reflects the organised structure of German sport, which is built upon the legal form of the <strong>eingetragener Verein</strong> (registered association). The German legal system does not contain a single codified sports law; instead, sports-related legal questions are resolved through the application of general statutes, principally the <strong>Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch</strong> provisions on associations and contracts, and through sport-specific legislation such as the <strong>Anti-Doping Law of 2015</strong>.</p>
