Abstract: The paper analyses the recently introduced draft amendment to the Sports Act of the Slovak Republic, dealing thereby solely with one specific aspect of this draft bill, namely that of dispute resolution in sports. Solutions to legal problems related to dispute resolution in sports are introduced in the bill, reflecting various proposals which were suggested previously by the Slovak sports lawyers and sports experts. The draft amendment can, therefore, be considered a viable way of solving many of the theoretical and practical problems in the field.

Key Words: Sports Law; Dispute Resolution; Court of Arbitration; the Slovak Republic.
