Summary

The most compelling one would probably be to keep in mind that international sporting institutions are formally private institutions. There is one important exception, however, that is the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), an interesting case of global hybrid public and private body, which adopts the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC). Beside WADA, international sporting bodies, such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and the decades of International Sports Federations are genuinely private entities and, in most cases, it is Swiss civil law that regulates them.
