Sports Diplomacy
Sport is an important element that connects people, nations and countries. Countries aim to improve their international image through the success of their athletes. The brotherhood and friendship structure of sports helps societies get to know each other better. Enhancing the performance of athletes with prohibited substances leads to abuse and misuse of sports. It is inevitable that athletes and sports managers who take this path will lose their reputation instead of the benefit they will gain from sports diplomacy. Regional and global organization of international sports competitions is the job of international sports institutions. The presence of their representatives in these institutions also adds prestige to the member countries. There is heated diplomatic activity in the sports world.
