Court of Justice 25 September 2025, C-474/24 (Opinion of Advocate General Spielmann delivered on 25 September 2025.)

Also known as

The Advocate General's opinion addresses the compatibility of anti-doping regulations with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), specifically concerning the publication of athletes' personal data following doping violations. Key legal questions include the interpretation of "data concerning health" and the legality of processing personal data related to criminal convictions under Articles 9 and 10 of the GDPR, alongside considerations of proportionality and the necessity of such disclosures for public interest. The opinion emphasizes the need to balance ethical sporting regulations with the protection of personal data rights, suggesting that the current Austrian legal framework may not adequately respect these rights.AI
