AB  - <p>Esports industry has rapidly developed with huge economic interests from the sponsoring<br />companies. As a result, esports players attempt to use doping substances and methods to<br />enhance their brain performance in order to win professional esports tournaments. Thus, the<br />anti-doping regime in esports should be taken into account from a different perspective in the<br />context of traditional sports and needs to be regulated in accordance with esports practices. On<br />that basis, the purposes of this article are the following: (1) to clarify whether the anti-doping<br />regime in esports is enough to ensure human rights of esports players guaranteed by the<br />European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR); and (2) to consider how esports federations<br />should take necessary measures to protect esports players under the ECHR through the analysis<br />of the Swiss example. Finally, this article will refer to the author’s personal opinions on this<br />issue.</p>
