description This paper approaches contemporary sport through a bioethical perspective so that its practicing is observed as a basic humanistic value and virtue with the goal of preserving and bettering health. The stress is primarily on the ethical i.e., moral principles which have a fundamental role of preventively protecting the basic role of sport as an amateur game contributing to the psychological and physical development of man. This means that, by way of education, the basic humanistic values such as solidarity, responsibility, justice, and tolerance should be stressed in sports, rather than intolerance, conflict, doping, bribery, corruption, and other inhumane and unwanted phenomena tied into and around it. The need to protect precisely that humanistic value is thereby greater if one keeps in mind that contemporary sport is facing ever greater ethical and moral, but also bioethical temptations which threaten it from various sides and areas.
