Features of the Regulatory Impact of Sports Federations

The purpose of the study. The article is devoted to identifying the features of the regulatory impact of sports federations. The relations in which sports federations are included are intended to influence groups of public relations that arise between various civil societies and specific people (a) regarding the organization (arrangement) of sports (for example, in the relations «international federation»—»national federation») or (b) the organization and conduct of competitions (for selection with the national team or the admission of athletes to competitions, according to the conditions of the competition, etc.). A certain part of the relations linking federations with the IOC, and its constituent entities, and relations on the implementation of the rules (with athletes, partners, etc.) is of an organizational nature or has an organizing component in its composition.

Conclusions. In almost all regulatory documents of sports federations, there are sections or groups of norms aimed at prohibitions and restrictions, or conditions that must be observed for the implementation of legal relations. However, they require different legal characteristics, since covenants are inherently a phenomenon of the contractual system (law and order). In all cases, two components can be distinguished in the acts of sports federations: the rules on the organization of internal relations (definition of bodies, their competence, membership issues, etc.) and on the organization and conduct of sports competitions. Accordingly, various methods of influencing future legal relations are used: restrictions or prohibitions on certain actions, covenants, and building organizational relationships.
