As the international development trend of sports continues to increase, various sports disputes have also increased. Among them, doping disputes, as the main type of disputes in sports arenas, have attracted the attention of all parties. Arbitration, as an important method of dispute resolution, is increasingly used in the resolution of doping disputes in practice, and it is also respected by many countries and sports circles. The purpose of this article is to study doping disputes in international sports arbitration. This article discusses the causes and harms of doping disputes, and analyzes its characteristics different from general sports disputes. Then it introduces the existing solutions to doping disputes, mainly including internal institutional resolution, litigation and arbitration. Sports arbitration has become the most important solution for such disputes because of its fairness, justice and efficiency. This article points out the specific problems of the International Court of Arbitration for Sports in applying the rules of evidence in the handling of doping cases, and proposes corresponding improvement suggestions, including expanding the scope of existing evidence discovery and constructing evidence based on limited discovery. This article uses interview method, questionnaire survey method and mathematical statistics method to investigate and research the current situation of anti-doping education in this province with the young athletes participating in the provincial sports meeting as the survey object. Studies have shown that the average annual number of specialized anti-doping training for excellent national sports teams is concentrated in 1 and 2 times, while the average annual specialized anti-doping training of provincial sports schools and scattered amateur sports schools is concentrated 0-1 times. It can be seen that special anti-doping training in provincial and municipal sports schools and scattered amateur sports schools needs to be strengt hened.
