handle is hein.blasports/ansrvds0031 and id is 1 raw text is: SURVEY 2021 ANNUAL SURVEY: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SPORTS LAW INTRODUCTION This Survey highlights sports-related cases decided by courts between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. While every sports-related case may not be included in this Survey, it briefly summarizes a wide range of cases that impacted the sports industry in 2021. The Survey intends to provide the reader insight into the important legal issues affecting the sports industry and to highlight the most recent developments in sports law. To better assist the reader, this Survey is arranged alphabetically by the substantive area of law of each case. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION Alternative dispute resolution involves an alternate form of adjudicating cases. Parties may choose to settle a dispute through arbitration instead of through the court system. These cases arose over contract disputes, in which the contracts involved an arbitration clause. If a party brings a dispute to court when the contract contains an arbitration clause, the opposing party may file a motion to compel arbitration. Other arbitration disputes arise over unfair arbitration decisions. Gilbert v. USA Taekwondo, Inc.' Plaintiffs, elite taekwondo athletes, are part of sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations. After a year of litigation, the plaintiffs and USAT have agreed to arbitration. USAT failed to notify their insurance provider, Markel Insurance Company, of the arbitration. Markel seeks to intervene and argues that they have a right and duty to defend USTA in litigation. USTA disagrees with Markel on this. Markel has been granted the request to intervene and represent USAT and all of their interests in this case. 1. No. 18-cv-00981, 2021 WL 2621374 (D. Colo. June 25, 2021).
