Sport Resolutions Annual Conference 2020

Event Overview

Event of the year for Law and Sport Professionals

An Update on the Sport Resolutions Annual Conference 

In the light of ongoing developments resulting from the coronavirus, we have decided to postpone the Sport Resolutions Annual Conference in association with Winston & Strawn LLP until a future date.

Our highest priority at Sport Resolutions is to ensure the safety and well-being of our guests and staff, and therefore we are stepping up our efforts to minimise the risk.

We are closely monitoring how the coronavirus pandemic develops across the globe and, depending on developments, we hope to be able to accommodate our annual conference in autumn 2020.

We are doing our best to find alternative dates and will be announcing a new conference date in due course. In the meantime, if you are a delegate, you can;

  • keep your ticket(s) until we announce the new date for our conference. Please note that you will be given plenty of time to request a full refund once the new date has been announced; or
  • request a refund now on Eventbrite and your ticket(s) will be refunded within 7 working days. (Please log into your account and click ‘Tickets’ to find your order). 

If you need any support please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at resolve@sportresolutions.co.uk

We continue to operate, and like other businesses will be adapting our work processes to accommodate our staff and wider stakeholders so that we can provide as seamless a service as possible. Please see here our working arrangements during Covid-19 outbreak.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and look forward to welcoming you back to our conference again this autumn. Until then we wish you all good health.

Travis TygartSpeaker

Travis T. Tygart has worked with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) for more than 15 years and became USADA’s Chief Executive Officer in September of 2007. As CEO, Tygart works closely with the USADA Board of Directors to carry out the organization’s mission of preserving the integrity of competition, inspiring true sport, and protecting the rights of clean athletes. Tygart has also reached out and made himself available to many Olympic athletes, embracing them as an essential part of the fight against doping.

Under Tygart’s leadership, some of USADA’s most significant efforts to protect clean athletes have come in the form of major investigations. Working alongside federal authorities, USADA investigated the international steroid bust, Operation Raw Deal, and the international doping conspiracy involving the BALCO laboratory in San Francisco. Tygart also led the investigation into the U.S. Postal Service pro-cycling team doping conspiracy and spearheaded the publication of the Reasoned Decision in the Lance Armstrong case.

Tygart’s tenure as CEO also produced the groundbreaking research on the importance of true sport: “What Sport Means in America,” and the “TrueSport Report.”
