Charter of Athletes’ Rights
Athletes have the same inherent rights as everyone. The careers of athletes warrant protection, for they are all consuming, short term, precarious and only available to the young.
Once over, athletes must forge new lives. In Australian sport today, the unique nature of athletic careers is used to justify restraints, limitations and penalties which are not imposed on any other citizen even though they are often not evidence based, ineffective and even counter-productive.
For a fair balance to be restored, all Australian sports must adopt this Charter of Athletes’ Rights.
