This is the guy whose heading the investigation.
Not his first rodeo by the looks of things...
Murray Rosen QC has been a full-time arbitrator and mediator, specialising in sports disputes since 2016. He is an arbitrator at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (CAS) where he has sat on more than 20 cases. He is the first Chair of the new Premier League Judicial Panel, and was formerly chair of the Table Tennis England Board of Appeal. He has sat in many ad hoc and disciplinary tribunals, usually as chairman, for the Football Association, Football League and International Tennis Federation and other associations. He has also mediated in disputes between players and clubs, associations and media bodies. Sports involved have also included rugby, tennis, pentathlon, Formula 1 and rallying, swimming, boxing and snooker.
He has also been on the Sport Resolutions panel since its outset (as the Sport Disputes Resolution Panel) and helped to draft the first revision to its rules. As counsel for over 30 years he appeared in relation to a wide variety of sports, including motor sport, boxing, snooker and athletics. was the founding chairman of the Bar Sports Law Group and a chairman and director of the British Association for Sport and Law.
He is a strong believer in fairness and in the power and benefits of sport and has a keen appreciation of its social, political and financial aspects. He has participated in sport all his life, is a member of the MCC and Arsenal FC, and still regularly plays real tennis and ping pong. His knowledge of the sports scene and the issues which arise, both commercial and regulatory, in relation to the governance of sport, and its competitions and events, makes him a sympathetic hands-on tribunal chairman and a successful mediator. He has recently initiated an ad hoc working party consulting and reporting on the Impact of Covid-19 on sport disputes resolution procedures, supported and published by LawinSport.
This is further cause for concern. The person pushing through these charges is not some disgraced fromer Prime Minister of Belgium now on UEFA's teat, or some career football beurocrat. This guy is a genuine expert in the field he's opera
ting in.
