Some recent CAS and national courts jurisprudence have given a new perspective in questions hitherto unanswered at a FIFA level such as the possibility of the player to benefit from certain social rights under national law, the right to ask for compensatory moral damages or the application of the principle of the specificity of sport when calculating the compensation amongst other interesting aspects. This paper aims at gathering and summarising some of the most recurrent arguments raised by the parties in disputes revolving around the players’ medical condition, while attempting to delve into the consequences for the players and the clubs involved by making reference to the most relevant jurisprudence of the FIFA DRC and the Court of Arbitration for Sport. For instance, Olimpia Club had to pay damages to their former player Sebastián Ariosa (picture) due to an unjustified breach of contract.
