In the dnamic world of sports, disputes often arise requiring effective resolution mechanisms. Naturally, this holds true for a country like India in which sports is growing at an unprecedented rate. In India, two initiatives related to the field of Sports Arbitration have been undertaken: The Indian Court for Arbitration of Sports (1CAS) and the Sports Arbitration Centre of India (SCA). However, due to a number of factors such as a lack of awareness, proper structure, and Indian sports jurisprudence, the success ofboth ventures has been far from ideal. Instead, dispute resohtion in India primarily relies on internal disciplinary committees set up by Sports Authorities or Federations. When this route fails, the aggrieved parties often resort to ordinary litigation- a cumbersome process exacerbated by its timne-consuming nature and absence of sports expertise in the adjudication process. Another avenue exists in the form of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). However, that too appears to be an option out of the means of a vast majority of Indian athletes. Thus, the need of the hour for India is to establish proper domestic sports dispute resolution mechanisms supported by robust regulations. For inspiration, it can turn to the Qatar Sports Arbitration Foundation (QSAF) which has emerged as a success story in the realm of domestic sports arbitration. Modelled after the CAS, it takes the most prominent elemnents out of the premier institution for sports dispute resolution in the world and applies them to create an efective domestic �ispute resolution framework It comprises of three key bodies: OSAF Assembly (consisting of members with legal and sports expertise). QSAF Board (for administrative functions) and Qatar Sports Arbitration Tribunal (QSAT) which provides for arbitration, appeals and mediation. Supplementing this is a set of statutes and rules which ensure the seamless functioning of the organisation. India can thus learn valuable lessons from Qatar's success and use it to enhance its own sports dispute resolution mechanisms.
