The resulting interference with the right to data protection may be justified by the preventive purpose of said publication.
EU Attorney General Tamara Ćapeta has issued a report in which she considers that a national anti-doping authority that publishes on the Internet personal data of a professional athlete who uses doping does not violate the General Data Protection Regulation.
The case on which the attorney general has ruled is that of an Austrian professional middle-distance runner who was found guilty of violating that country's anti-doping Fax Lists regulations . The Austrian Anti-Doping Legal Commission annulled all results obtained by the athlete during the relevant period, stripped her of all her participation bonuses and prize money and imposed a suspension from participation in all types of sporting competitions for a period of four years. This decision was confirmed by the Austrian Independent Arbitration Commission .
The Independent Doping Control Institution also published the athlete's name, her anti-doping violations and the period of suspension in a list of suspended athletes on its publicly accessible website.
The athlete filed an appeal against this decision before the Austrian Independent Arbitration Commission. This body has asked the CJEU for guidance, among other things, on whether the publication on the Internet of the personal data of a professional athlete who uses doping is compatible with the Data Protection Regulation.
