The Constitutional Court of Romania ruled that a law requiring at least 40% of athletes in a team to be Romanian is unconstitutional, citing widespread corruption in sports. The court emphasized that the goals of the law could be achieved through public policies that promote access to sports and objective selection criteria. The law was challenged by Nicușor Dan, who argued it violated non-discrimination principles and limited access for European athletes. The court's decision highlights issues of favoritism and financial barriers in youth sports, which hinder the development of elite athletes in Romania.
