\"Apology\"We\u2019ve all caught wind of the recent media flurry after last Tuesday\u2019s unreserved apology (and settlement) by Chelsea FC to former sports physician, Dr. Eva Carneiro (@EvaCarneiro). The team\u2019s management were explicit that Dr Carneiro had acted completely appropriate when she ran on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard in last August\u2019s opening day match of the Premier League season (read more here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This incident raises two critical issues: (i) Gender discrimination in sport; Dr Carneiro, also reached a discrimination settlement against the club’s former manager Mr Jose Mourinho, and (ii) A team doctor\u2019s authority to make medical decisions, not the manager.<\/em><\/p>\n
