Arcom publishes its report on the application of the deliberation of May 17, 2017 on the fight against doping and the protection of people practicing physical activities and sports, for the 2021 fiscal year.
Introduction
Article 20-3 of the law of September 30, 1986 relating to freedom of communication; amended by the law of February 1, 2012 aimed at strengthening sports ethics and athletes' rights, now states that " television services that broadcast sports programs contribute to the fight agains doping and to the protection of people practicing physical and sports activities by showing programs relating to these subjects. The French regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication sets the conditions for application of this article ".
On June 26, 2012, Arcom adopted an initial deliberation on the conditions for contributing to the fight against doping and the protection of people practicing physical activities and sports, which defined the terms and conditions for the diffusion, by TV channels showing sports programs, of programs that address these two topics.
Following a cycle of consultation and consultation, a new deliberation on the fight agains doping and the protection of people practicing physical activities and sports (see appendix) was adopted on May 17, 2017. It follows the philosophy of the first text while notably clarifying certain definitions and widening its scope of application to local television services.
The present report covers the application of this deliberation for the year 2021.
