Sports Law in 2012 : The Year in Review 2012 was a thrilling roller coaster ride for the legal eco-system surrounding the sporting world. From the London Olympics 2012 to the Indian Olympic Association’s (“IOA”) disqualification by the International Olympic Council (“IOC”), 2012 has had its fair share of smiles and sighs.
