Abstract

Football, as a billion dollar sector, attracts millions of people all around the world. The unpredictability of the games is of paramount importance not only for Sport Governing Bodies but also for fans that support their teams at all costs. However, as a result of football’s popularity, sometimes undesirable incidents, like match-fixing may occur. Apart from criminal proceedings, disciplinary proceedings in match-fixing allegations have different rules. On the other hand, one of the fundamental criminal law principles, presumption of innocence, is disregarded by Sport Governing Bodies and Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Even if presumption of innocence is a fundamental human right, there is no reason to implement this principle to football clubs which face with disciplinary sanctions. This article aims to identify the role of presumption of innocence with regard to football clubs in match-fixing allegations and to explain why SGBs should consider it. In order to achieve these goals some of the CAS and Swiss Federal Tribunal decisions will be referred throughout the article.

Özet

Milyar dolarlık bir sektör olarak futbol, tüm dünyadan milyonlarca insanı cezbetmektedir. Müsabakaların tahmin edilemezliği sadece Spor İdare Kurulları için değil; aynı zamanda takımını her ne pahasına olursa olsun destekleyen taraftarlar için de oldukça önemlidir. Ancak, futbolun popülerliğinin sonucu olarak, bazen istenilmeyen olaylar, şike gibi, ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Cezai soruşturmalardan ayrı olarak, disiplin soruşturmaları, şike davalarında, farklı kurallar içermektedir. Diğer taraftan, ceza hukukunun temel bir ilkesi olan masumiyet karinesi, Spor İdare Kurulları ve Spor Tahkim Mahkemesi tarafından göz ardı edilmektedir. Masumiyet karinesi temel bir insan hakkı olmasına rağmen, bu prensibin disiplin cezalarıyla karşı karşıya kalan futbol kulüplerine uygulanmaması için bir neden yoktur. Bu makale, şike suçlamalarında, futbol kulüpleri açısından masumiyet karinesinin rolünü tanımlayı ve Spor İdari Kurulları ile Spor Tahkim Mahkemesi tarafından neden göz önünde bulundurulması gerektiğini açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca ulaşabilmek için makale boyunca bazı Spor Tahkim Mahkemesi ve İsviçre Federal Mahkemesi kararlarına atıflarda bulunulacaktır.
