Sports ethics: New challenges for new times

Sports must protect athletes from physical and psychological harm, while ensuring fair competition. Sport ethics includes improving athlete safety (preventing injuries, supporting concussion management), athlete well-being (mental performance), and human rights (freedom from discrimination). Increasingly, freedom from sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, or questioning status of citizenship, marriage, or class are ethical objectives of all those involved in sports. Sports ethics is situated within a broader sphere of bioethics as the interdisciplinary concerns of athlete wellbeing are prioritised through addressing doping [1], the morality of fighting [2], perspectives on social justice within sports for development.
