 Anti-doping and data protection: Advocate General Ćapeta considers that a national anti-doping authority which publishes personal data of a doped professional athlete on the internet is not in breach of the GDPR

The resulting interference with the right to data protection may be justified by the preventive aim of such a publication.

 @29d67b21 Look forward to reading the opinion but the reasoning in the press release is interesting.

"GDPR does not apply to
the factual circumstances [...because] anti-doping rules primarily regulate sport as sport. They are concerned with sport’s social and educational functions, rather than its economic aspects."

The alternative reason given after seems fine, but this seems weak and ad-hoc. Anti-doping rules can serve economic purposes, e.g. preserving public trust, thus commercial sponsorship.
