CAN MASSA CHALLENGE TO TAKE AWAY HAMILTON’S 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE? – THE ANSWER OF THE ATTORNEY AT LAW: “Is there a civil action to strip one world champion title of seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton? If so, could a tsunami of litigations and processes, which would overturn past results, be unleashed on the racing circus, and could our world championship results tables be mixed up? Can the Verstappens, Alonsos, Hakkinens and who knows how many other icons of the Formula One top league be retrospectively dethroned from the world championship?” Read more on Eurosport website

MANCHESTER-MONOPOLY OR THE BACKGROUND AND DETEAILS OF THE SALE OF A FOOTBALL CLUB: “Sheikh of Qatar Jassim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and INEOS owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe are competing to buy Manchester United football club. The Glazer family is the current owner of the club and therefore its seller, they are negotiating with the two billionaires about the transfer of the team. But what are they discussing?

WHAT DOES PULLED-DOWN PANTS TEACH US – OR WHAT AND WHY WE SHOULD NOT DO SOMETHING? “Many of us have been to a school, university, or NGO where we were told cynically: “you don’t have to go here.” The sentence may have been uttered in a context where the specific rules were overridden by the management. He expected something from us that went beyond the specific provisions. It was because of Kyle Walker that we started our writing in a general way. We can remember that the Manchester City player recently got a little drunk (not a little, he was drunk like the old man) and showed himself to two young ladies with his pants down in a bar.” Read more on Eurosport website

CONTE WOULD NOT LIKE THE PRESS NOT TO PESTER HIM WITH UNPLEASANT QUESTIONS: “Every reader must have noticed that in a winning team, the team members fight with each other for the press conferences. Who doesn’t want to appreciate their own indispensable role in the midst of success and glamour? However, for teams that are losing or in a bad series, nobody wants to make a statement for the press. Antonio Conte, the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur in the English football league, has the most recent experience.” Read more on Eurosport website

DID VERSTAPPEN COMMIT A LEGAL OFFENCE WHEN HE VIOLATED THE TEAM INSTRUCTIONS IN BRAZIL?: “We do not break the phalanx of those who support the team instruction or those who oppose it. But if the subject is raised, let’s look at the sportslaw aspects of it. Is it correct to give a team instruction? Is it fair and does it fit in with fair play? Can a request on the radio be defied or are we talking about a recommendation?” Read more on Eurosport website

BARCA VS. ATLÉTICO, AND THE 40 MILLION € DEBATE – THROUGH THE EYES OF A SPORTS LAWYER: “It is better to give than to receive, so the saying goes. Until now, we have been led to believe that in the case of the loan, this statement is certainly true. The Spanish football championship has disproved this axiom. Loans are relatively rarely discussed in sports law analyses, so we take this opportunity to dissect them. We are grateful to Barcelona and Atlético Madrid for the opportunity.” Read more on Eurosport website

THE FRADI COACH WAS BEATEN AFTER THE MATCH, BUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? “The Hockey Club of Gyergyó has issued a statement distancing itself from the person who beat the coach at the match. As it is known, on Sunday after the match between Gyergyó Hockey Club and FTC, Szabolcs Fodor, the coach of the green and white team, was beaten up. The statement is correct, it is not appropriate. We stress in advance that we can not comment on the safety aspects of the case, and thus on any question of responsibility, in the absence of knowledge. However, a publicist may jump the gun on this case. So let us take a look at the possible consequences of break of the rules at sporting events. In general terms, of course.” Read more on Eurosport website.

WHO WOULD THINK THERE IS A SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE VUKMIR AFFAIR AND POLYGAMY? “Most employment relationships are like marriage. Until you end one, you can’t move into another. Before our readers in the multi-wife Sun-East raise an eyebrow, we are fixing our viewpoint. The news of the last few days is that Dragan Vukmir, the head coach of Szeged-Csanád GA who is serving his notice, appeared on the DVTK bench against Tiszakécske. Without knowing the documents, we can not comment on the disagreement between the two clubs. However we have the opportunity to delve a little into the possibilities of the sportsmen.” Read more on Eurosport website.

A PSG PLAYER WHO WALKED LIKE A POLICE MAN WHO WAS NOT A POW: “The chain of instruction and instruction-execution is very similar between football and the military. Just as in the trenches there is no need for lengthy discussions about the correctness of orders, so football is not a medium for prolonged brooding. This is true not only of football, but of all team sports, indeed almost all sports. The reason of the article is the case of Idrissa Gueye who is a midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain, which case burned the world press like a dry spell. He did not play against Montpellier for personal reasons. In the light of this case, it is worth reflecting on how and in what way could a sportsman ingnore the instructions of his head coach (his employer).” Read more on Eurosport website.

DE JONG AND XAVI: WHAT OPTIONS A FOOTBALLER HAS IF DECISIONS ARE MADE WITHOUT HIM? “Barcelona head coach Xavi has reportedly told Frenkie De Jong by phone that he has agreed a deal to sell him to his current club Manchester United. The story raises a number of labour law issues, which Miklós Simor has tried to untangle.” Read more on Eurosport website

AGE LIMIT OF 17 DOES NOT PROTECT TEENAGER SKATERS BUT STOPS BARBARS EXPLOITING THEM: “When a child wins an adult world championship, one thing is certainly not expected: the decision of the tournament organisers to make my little friend, outside wider. You can come back when you’re older. No such thing? But there is! At the International Skating Federation congress in Thailand, the delegates decided to raise the age of competition to 17 in two stages.” Read more on Eurosport website

AMERICAN FOOTBALLER SUED FOR UNDERSSING AND STORMING OFF AFTER THE PLAY: “Tampa Bay Buccaneers (also) world famous receiver Antonio Brown tackled, threw his tackle against the New York Jets and was sacked. Or before this action he was fired. Or fired because of the action. All of this is perhaps an interesting enough story to analyse through the eyes of an outsider sports lawyer.” Read more on Eurosport website
