Abstract

This chapter delves into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on doping detection in sports, exploring its ethical and legal implications. It begins by outlining the advancements in AI-based doping detection technologies, which offer improved objectivity, efficiency, and precision. The chapter then examines the ethical considerations, including privacy issues, justice and equity, potential discrimination, and the impact on athletes' rights and reputations. Legal implications and regulatory frameworks are also discussed, highlighting the need for strong legal safeguards and the role of international and national anti-doping laws. The chapter includes case studies on the use of AI in athlete biometric data analysis, AI-based drug testing protocols, and the challenges in adjudicating AI-generated doping evidence. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of adhering to ethical standards and legal frameworks to preserve the integrity and fairness of sports competitions.
