Sport and the Law
Sport will always have a place in the heart of the public. However, this year, its dark side has reared its ugly head in incidents such as the Harlequins fake blood injury scam and the Renault planned crash. The issue of drugs in sport is, unfortunately, ever topical and we will be examining in detail the new UK Anti-Doping agency which is due to be up and running by 2010.
On a more positive note, the UK is on the cusp of a golden decade with bids being made to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the 2015 Rugby World Cup and the 21st FIFA World Cup in 2018. More imminently are the Olympics Games 2012 in London and we will be hearing direct from various members of LOCOG about how preparations are proceeding.
