Abstract:

The Chamber judgement in the case of Fédération Nationale des Syndicats Sportifs (FNASS) and Others v. France (application no. 48151/11) the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been:

no violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The case concerns the requirement for a targeted group of sports professionals to notify their whereabouts for the purposes of unannounced anti-doping tests.

Taking account of the impact of the whereabouts requirement on the applicants’ private life, the Court nevertheless took the view that the public interest grounds which made it necessary were of particular importance and justified the restrictions imposed on their Article 8 rights. It found that the reduction or removal of the relevant obligations would lead to an increase in the dangers of doping for the health of sports professionals and of all those who practise sports, and would be at odds with the European and international consensus on the need for unannounced testing as part of doping control.
