Abstract
The purpose of this article is to investigate this important question, what are the conditions of non-civil liability of athletes in jurisprudence and law? This article is descriptive and analytical and has investigated the mentioned question by using the library method. from a jurisprudential point of view, Rule of Emprise, the permission rule, and the rule of warning are the conditions for the non-responsibility of medical workers. Informed consent, fault of the victim, and custom and compliance with sports regulations, acceptance of risk and forfeiture of rights are among the most important conditions for the lack of civil liability of athletes in the law. The custom governing sports communities indicates that if an accident occurs during sports operations that are conducted legally and according to the regulations, the principle is that the athletes are not responsible, as long as the athlete's bad intention in relation to the loss and damage to the opponent is proven, unless there is a clear and major violation by the players, the customs of the sports communities do not condemn the athletes. In most common sports, collisions and injuries are unavoidable. If an athlete unintentionally and without malice and by observing the necessary rules and precautions by striking in a conventional manner in sports operations causes injury to the other party, he is exempt from civil liability and as a result, risks are necessary for sports movements and the implementation of the general rules of responsibility. It is not possible to be civil about them.
