- EU court backs naming doped athletes, rejects automatic online shaming
The EU Court of Justice ruled that athletes caught doping can be named online to deter violations and protect fair competition, but automatic publication is not allowed. The court emphasized case-by-case decisions based on factors like an athlete's profile and the violation's severity, rejecting a one-size-fits-all approach. Athletes may challenge mandatory disclosure through data protection authorities.
