My primary teaching areas are Tort, Medical Ethics and Sport, and my main research is in: sports negligence, doping, the regulation of sport (in particular its definition), ambush marketing, concussion liability, medical negligence and informed consent.

About

In 2012, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) also listed my profile within their directory of global anti-doping social science researchers (http://wada-ama.org/en/Education-Awareness/Social-Science/Researchers-Directory/) . My ‘Sports Law Canary’ Blog (has received widespread international recognition and has been listed in the top 50 blogs internationally for sports managers and agents). The Blog was also one of the founding blogs in the Guardian Newspapers Sports Blogroll.
