The delivery of health care to athletes is an increasingly complex topic involving ethicists, lawyers, and regulators in both national and international arenas. This conference concentrates on three controversial medico-legal issues; drug and supplement use by athletes, disabled or injured athletes, and the effect of the complex relationships between amateur or professional teams, their doctors, and their athletes. The conference faculty is without peer, featuring the leading regulators, practitioners, and academics in sports medicine. Our speakers will discuss highly publicized and contentious issues such as off-label use of prescription pharmaceuticals, conflicts of interests between sports medical staff and the athletes they treat, and the legal rights of athletes who suffer injuries or pre-existing disabilities.
