Sportspolitika › How we read a decision
Every entry is read the same way, and the reading is printed on the page as five fields.
The four tables repeated across the site are built from those fields and from nothing else: entries by section, jurisdictions, actors, and the sums that are named.
| Filed | Actor | Decision | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee | Operation Gold: what a United States medal actually pays | Fixed payments of 37,500, 22,500 and 15,000 dollars by medal, equal for Olympic and Paralympic athletes | |
| Olympic Solidarity Commission | Olympic Solidarity 2025–2028: where the 650 million goes | A plan of 650 million dollars, up ten per cent, split between world, continental and Games-participation programmes | |
| United States Congress | Medal prize money and the million-dollar line in the tax code | Medals and committee prize money are excluded from gross income unless adjusted gross income exceeds one million dollars | |
| International Olympic Committee Session and Executive Board | How an Olympic host is chosen now that there is no ballot | Bidding contests replaced by permanent Future Host Commissions running a continuous and a targeted dialogue; the seven-year rule no longer applies | |
| International Olympic Committee | The Host City Contract became the Olympic Host Contract, and gained human rights | The contract was renamed and human rights obligations referencing the UN Guiding Principles were written in as core requirements | |
| Anti-doping organisations in a registered testing pool | Three missed tests in twelve months: how the window actually moves | Any three missed tests or filing failures inside twelve months is a violation, and the twelve months run from the first of them | |
| United States Congress | The 24-hour reporting duty, and the ten-year limitation behind it | A duty to report suspected child abuse within 24 hours, with criminal exposure for failing it, and a ten-year civil limitation period | |
| Anti-doping organisations and results-management bodies | A provisional suspension is not a ban, and the difference is paid for | One is an interim measure before any finding; the other is a sanction after one, and only the second disqualifies results by itself | |
| Swiss Federal Supreme Court | Article 190: the only grounds on which a CAS award is set aside | An award from the Court of Arbitration for Sport can be challenged only on the five grounds listed in article 190(2) of the Swiss federal statute | |
| World Anti-Doping Agency | What changes in the World Anti-Doping Code for 2027 | A new Code approved on 5 December 2025 replaces the 2021 text from 1 January 2027 | |
| United States Congress | What Congress can do to the USOPC since the 2020 Act | Congress took the power to dissolve the USOPC board and decertify a national governing body, and raised athlete representation to one third | |
| Signatories to the World Anti-Doping Code | Signatory or Delegated Third Party: who actually answers | Only a Signatory is bound by the Code and can be found non-compliant; a contractor acting for one answers to the Signatory |
