This ideological declaration, or teleological interpretation of the Olympic Charter, 12 provides additional guidelines to members by adding a gloss on the Rules that follow. These are not just hollow claims being made here; it is from the Fundamental Principles of Olympism that the IOC's commitment to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as a world court for sport, and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in its fight against the use of performance-enhancing drugs, can be traced.…”

In this article, Mark James and Guy Osborn discuss how the relationships between the various members of the Olympic Movement are governed by the Olympic Charter and the legal framework within which an edition of the Olympic Games is organised. The legal status of the Charter and its interpretation by the Court of Arbitration for Sport are examined to identify who is subject to its terms and how challenges to its requirements can be made. Finally, by using the UK legislation that has been enacted to regulate advertising and trading at London 2012, the far-reaching and sometimes unexpected reach of Olympic Law is explored.
