Our products liability team provides key support to sports clients in connection with sponsored scientific research into player safety and the insights that findings from such research might have for enhancing injury protection -- either by providing scientific support for new player equipment designs or by pointing to ways in which the incidence of injuries could be reduced by changes to rules of play.
Covington’s experience in arbitrations involving sports health issues dates from well before recent attention to steroids in US professional sports. For years, the firm has represented sports leagues and amateur athletic associations, in both the US and internationally, in the enforcement of anti-doping standards. And our government affairs team has advised sports leagues on U.S. Congressional initiatives concerning the regulation of drugs in sports. Covington’s deep regulatory background -- in particular the experience of our food & drug lawyers in the worldwide regulation of pharmaceutical products -- makes us uniquely suited to provide advice on the policy and practice of sports organizations in their implementation of policy and practice regarding performance-enhancing substances.
