In the mean time, the author concluded via analysis that sport laws which specify the sport obligations of different sport subjects in-clude the national sports law, intrinsic sport law, international sports law, and sports regulations promulgated by sports industrial associations and sport authorities, among which the intrinsic sport law has a direct binding force on sport behaviors, while the national sport law is the last assurance for ensuring the realization of sport obligations.
