“Sport and the Law engage with each other on many levels including within the rules and laws of the games themselves and how the operation of sport and sporting bodies interact with the law. Law’s relationship with Sport helps us understand why crossing the white line makes an act which normally would be illegal is granted an exception in the sporting context”.  Dr Seán Ó Conaill (CSEL)
