Summary/Abstract: The case law on the administrative nature of decisions of sports federations is contradictory. In certain cases the courts confirm this character, in others they deny it and terminate the proceedings already initiated on this ground. It should be noted that the decisions of sports federations, by which the latter carry out sports justice and sports arbitration, are categorically not recognised as Individual Administrative Acts (IAA), according to a number of recent decisions of the administrative courts. On the other hand, new case-law has recognised IAA by which sports federations exercise the power to sanction athletes and officials who have admitted the use of doping substances and the power to grant, suspend and revoke athletes' competition rights. Some court decisions are examined, like the Supreme Administrative Court decisions of 24.07.2000, concluding that a decision of a sports federation is an IAA.
