Abstract
An important medicolegal issue is how best to resolve disputes about an athlete's medical eligibility. Team physicians typically recommend against athletic participation when they feel that it will pose an unreasonable risk of injury to an athlete who has an abnormality. But such athletes may cite federal laws designed to protect the disabled and claim a right to participate. The legal framework for resolving sports-participation disputes involving physically impaired athletes is still developing. Recent case law reflects a split decision regarding the legality of excluding athletes whose condition, in the opinion of the team physician, exposes them to an increased risk of significant harm.
