Abstract

Exercise can lead to cases of criminal or civil liability that have been more or less studied in some research. What has been reviewed in this research using descriptive-analytical research method; It is criminality and misconduct that are in fact the origin of the aforementioned responsibility. It should be noted that in sports operations, despite the fact that athletes explicitly or implicitly, both at the beginner level and at the professional level; Aware of the dangers, they have given consent to perform sports operations, and this satisfaction has been based on the fact that individuals are the owners and rulers of their physical integrity; This satisfaction is not absolute and faces an exception. In fact, whenever a crime or violation is committed in accordance with the rules of sports regulations or general criminal law, it creates liability for the offender. One of the most important ambiguities is to determine the diagnostic criteria for the crime or violation of the action. The complexity of the issue becomes more apparent when we know that most of the existing bylaws have not gone through the formalities set for approval and have often been approved and passed by the board of federations.
