Mr. Younger was previously Head of the Cybercrime Division at the Bavarian Landeskriminalamt (BLKA) in Germany, which he created as the central point of contact for police, State departments and private companies in all cybercrime matters of Bavaria. While fulfilling this role, in 2015, Günter was seconded to WADA’s three-person Independent Commission that investigated and exposed widespread doping in Russian athletics. After graduating from Police Training School in Dachau and Kӧnigsbrunn in 1988, Mr. Younger joined the BLKA as an investigator. Over the years, Günter held numerous increasingly senior positions with a particular focus on international investigations; specifically, combating drug trafficking and organised crime. After completing postgraduate studies at the Police College of Public Administration in Fürstenfeldbruck and at the National Police Staff College in Münster, Mr. Younger served as Deputy Head of the Organised Crime Division of the BLKA. In 2006, he was deployed to Europol as an Analyst for Serious Organised Crime. In 2008, Mr. Younger was seconded to Interpol´s drug unit in Lyon/France where he was swiftly promoted to Team Leader/Coordinator. By the following year, he had assumed responsibility for the organization’s Drugs and Criminal Intelligence Unit (DCIU) and the newly created Anti-Doping section. Upon completion of his term at Interpol, in 2011, Mr. Younger returned to Germany to lead Bavaria’s Counterfeit Currency Unit before joining BLKA.

Mr. Younger was previously Head of the Cybercrime Division at the Bavarian Landeskriminalamt (BLKA) in Germany, which he created as the central point of contact for police, State departments and private companies in all cybercrime matters of Bavaria. While fulfilling this role, in 2015, Günter was seconded to WADA’s three-person Independent Commission that investigated and exposed widespread doping in Russian athletics. After graduating from Police Training School in Dachau and Kӧnigsbrunn in 1988, Mr. Younger joined the BLKA as an investigator. Over the years, Günter held numerous increasingly senior positions with a particular focus on international investigations; specifically, combating drug trafficking and organised crime. After completing postgraduate studies at the Police College of Public Administration in Fürstenfeldbruck and at the National Police Staff College in Münster, Mr. Younger served as Deputy Head of the Organised Crime Division of the BLKA. In 2006, he was deployed to Europol as an Analyst for Serious Organised Crime. In 2008, Mr. Younger was seconded to Interpol´s drug unit in Lyon/France where he was swiftly promoted to Team Leader/Coordinator. By the following year, he had assumed responsibility for the organization’s Drugs and Criminal Intelligence Unit (DCIU) and the newly created Anti-Doping section. Upon completion of his term at Interpol, in 2011, Mr. Younger returned to Germany to lead Bavaria’s Counterfeit Currency Unit before joining BLKA.

This follows the World Players Association publication of the Universal Declaration of Player Rights, which is the first comprehensive articulation of athletes’ rights, sets a benchmark for international sporting organisations to meet their obligations to protect, respect and guarantee the fundamental rights of players. “The rule books of world sport impose thousands of pages of onerous obligations, but none clearly spell out the internationally recognised human rights of athletes,” said Brendan Schwab, Executive Director of the World Players Association. “The result is an unjust system of sports law that lacks legitimacy and fails to protect the very people who sit at the heart of sport. We are making it clear that athlete rights can no longer be ignored. They must be able to quickly access justice.” The implementation of the principles set out in the Declaration will introduce long overdue reforms to the governance of sport. Some examples include: Every player is entitled to equality of opportunity in the pursuit of sport without distinction of any kind and free of discrimination, harassment and violence. Every player has the right to freedom of opinion and expression. The rights of every child athlete must be protected. Every player has the right to share fairly in the economic activity and wealth of his or her sport which players have helped generate, underpinned by fair and just pay and working conditions. Every player has the right to organise and collectively bargain. Every player is entitled to have his or her name, image and performance protected. A player’s name, image and performance may only be commercially utilised with his or her consent, voluntarily given. Every player has the right to a private life, privacy and protection in relation to the collection, storage and transfer of personal data. Every player must be able to access an effective remedy when his or her human rights are not respected and upheld. This is particularly crucial given the highly skilled yet short term and precarious nature of the athletic career. The Declaration was developed over the last two years by the more than 100 player associations affiliated to World Players. It has also undergone a thorough review process by human and labour rights experts. It reflects generations of organised players’ experiences and incorporates recent feedback from thousands of players provided through wide-ranging surveys conducted by player associations. It is also firmly anchored in international human rights law and core International Labour Organisation standards. The World Players Association’s mission is to embed the fundamental human rights in world sport.

Many athletes disconnect from the sports world entirely, while others may feel a sort of identity loss. To ease into this transition, retiring from sport is something current athletes continue to prepare for. As a means to assist from current and former athletes with this planning, we decided to speak with a former Olympian and now lawyer about her transition into "life after sport" and what can be done to prepare for and manage it. This podcast will also be useful to aspiring lawyers to learn about how to search for future opportunities in sports law. In this podcast, LawInSport Founder & CEO, Sean Cottrell, speaks with Andréanne Morin, a former Olympian and now a corporate commercial lawyer about her transition from being an Olympic athlete to becoming a practising lawyer. Andréanne is also an officer for the Canadian Olympic Committee's Athletes' Commission and a member of the World Anti-Doping Agency's Athletes' Commission. Andréanne provides insight into her career as a lawyer and why she decided to practice law in the first place. She also provides a look at life as a college athlete studying in the US and how that system works for Canadian and US college athletes. Andréanne explains her views on encouraging athlete involvement in sports boards and organisations. This podcast also looks at issues surrounding whether the "athlete voice" is genuinely heard in organisations or athletes commission. Andréanne notes her experiences as an athlete in organisations and whether she felt her constructive feedback was used to implement change. Lastly, Andréanne provides advice to current and former athletes by sharing how she stayed involved in sport, how to search for similar opportunities, and how she managed to balance life after sport along with her new career.

The debate on how to improve representation of minorities in football has largely been framed around the adoption of something akin to the NFL’s ‘Rooney Rule’.

The film provides a forensic look at the Lance Armstrong story, one of the biggest scandals to hit sports in recent times. The story of the making of the film is itself incredible; starting life in 2009 to document Armstrong’s return to the Tour de France, filming was interrupted mid-production by Lance’s confession to the team that he had been doping. With the premise of the film obsolete, Lance asked if the film could be used to break the story, but the timing meant he chose to appear on Oprah Winfrey first. Post Oprah, the team ran with the revelations, secured their own exclusive interview with Lance, and pivoted to document the darker side of the man and the sport.
