L'objectif général d'une réglementation antidopage en matière sportive vise à lutter contre le dopage en vue d'un déroulement loyal de la compétition sportive et inclut la nécessité d'assurer l'égalité des chances des athlètes, leur santé, l'intégrité et l'objectivité de la compétition ainsi que les valeurs d'éthique dans le sport. Par ailleurs, étant donné que des sanctions sont nécessaires pour garantir l'exécution de l'interdiction du dopage, l'effet de celles-ci sur la liberté d'action des athlètes doit être considéré comme étant, en principe, inhérent lui-même aux règles antidopage. 3, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9glementation%20antidopage

The criminal law can only punish actual behaviour committed with the requisite criminal intent. The one exception to this general principle is the Criminal Code provision for indeterminate imprisonment of dangerous offenders. Although it may amount to preventive detention in some sense, this power is available only upon sentencing for a violent offence, and requires proof of a persistent pattern of violent criminal behaviour sufficient to justify a sentence of indeterminate life imprisonment. 1, record 7, English, - violent%20criminal%20behaviour

Le droit criminel ne peut réprimer que les actes déjà commis, lorsque l'accusé avait une intention criminelle. La seule exception à ce principe général réside dans la disposition du Code criminel prévoyant la détention des délinquants dangereux pendant une période indéterminée. Bien qu'en un sens, cela équivaille à une détention préventive, cette disposition ne peut être appliquée qu'aux auteurs de comportement criminel violent de façon assez habituelle pour justifier une détention pendant une période indéterminée. 1, record 7, French, - comportement%20criminel%20violent
