Abstract

Football, as a billion dollar sector,attracts millions of people all aroundthe world. The unpredictability of thegames is of paramount importance notonly for Sport Governing Bodies but alsofor fans that support their teams at allcosts. However, as a result of football’spopularity, sometimes undesirableincidents, like match-fixing may occur.Apart from criminal proceedings,disciplinary proceedings in match-fixingallegations have different rules. On theother hand, one of the fundamentalcriminal law principles, presumptionof innocence, is disregarded by SportGoverning Bodies and Court of Arbitrationfor Sport (CAS). Even if presumptionof innocence is a fundamental humanright, there is no reason to implementthis principle to football clubs which facewith disciplinary sanctions. This articleaims to identify the role of presumptionof innocence with regard to footballclubs in match-fixing allegations and toexplain why SGBs should consider it. Inorder to achieve these goals some of theCAS and Swiss Federal Tribunal decisionswill 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.
