Summary/Abstract: International legal framework regulating the prohibition and sanctioning of doping in sport is a very interesting topic for research, because of the variety of legal, organizational and financial problems that have to be solved in order to organize and establish effective and efficient mechanism for counteraction of doping in sport. Besides that, International Conventions and Codes of International Sports Organizations regulating prohibition of doping in sport made the great influence to the process of drafting and enactment of national laws regulating sports doping in different countries round the World. Nowadays, more than ever before in the history, International Conventions and regulations of International Sports Organizations treat doping in sports and activities related with production and trafficking of doping substances as illegal ones. In recent years, it was widely accepted that sport doping is only a part of the wider problem of drug abuse within modern societies and some of the documents of international organizations stated so. During the past thirty years, existence and application of various Antidoping Conventions and Antidoping Codes of International Sports Organizations significantly contributed to the development of legal and organizational mechanism aimed at fight against doping in sport. After the development of the new legal framework regulating the prohibition and sanctioning of doping in sport in the Republic of Serbia during the year 2005, a new challenging and difficult task lays ahead Serbian state and sports organizations. That task is ratification of International Convention against Doping in Sport and a proper implementation of that Convention in everyday life of Serbian sportsmen and sportswoman.
