Статья посвящена зарубежному опыту борьбы с незаконном оборотом субстанций, запрещенных для использования в спорте, на примере Франции. Сегодня проблема допинга в спорте вышла на абсолютно новый уровень, за последнее время за применение запрещенных препаратов и методов в спорте было дисквалифицировано значительное количество спортсменов во всем мире. В связи с этим рассматривается опыт французского законодательства по противодействию организации, распространению и применению субстанций и (или) методов, запрещенных для использования в спорте, который, несомненно, будет полезен и для российского законодателя, и для правоприменителя.
The article is devoted to foreign experience in dealing with the inhibition, distribution and use of substances and (or) methods that are prohibtted for use in sports as exemplified by France. The relevance of the topic under consideration is due to the fact that in recent years the problem of doping in sport has reached a completely new level. Recently, more than 200 Russian athletes have been disqualified for using banned drags and methods in sports. As a result, accusations were sent to Russia for state support of the doping system. One of the main measures that will allow Russia to prove its commitment to «pure sport» should be to establish criminal responsibility for the commission of certain actions related to the incitement, distribution and use of substances and (or) methods prohibited for use in sports. Research into the problems of countering doping with criminal law means in order to model the development of Russian criminal legislation in the field of countering the organization, distribution and use of substances and/or methods prohibited for use in sports would be incomplete without studying foreign experience in this field. In this regard, the experience of the French legislation to counter the organization, distribution and use of substances and (or) methods prohibited for use in sports is considered.
