Advancement of Anti-Doping Regulation in Taiwan Through Amendments to the Law of the People's Republic of China on Physical Culture and Sports
Abstract：The control of doping in sports is crucial for ensuring fairness in competitions, especially in major international events. This analysis examines the 2022 amendments to The Law of the People's Republic of China on Physical Culture and Sports (Sports Law) and its implementation in 2023. The enforcement of anti-doping regulations is pivotal for protecting athletes' rights and should adhere to the principle of legal reservation. In this context, China has raised the legal standing of these regulations from mere departmental rules to formal inclusion in the Sports Law. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to determine whether the anti-doping provisions in Taiwan's National Sports Act are in line with the principles of legal reservation and other jurisprudential doctrines. The analysis reveals that, while Taiwan's National Sports Act and related legal provisions address anti-doping measures, they lack sufficient legal prominence. This deficiency impedes the integration of international standards into domestic law and the effective protection of athletes' rights. Consequently, this paper recommends that, beyond raising awareness, crucial elements like the criteria for anti-doping control and legal responsibilities should be explicitly incorporated into the legislation to ensure robust rights protection.
