Abstract
The aim of the survey was to establish the views of athletes (professional 38% and recreational 62%) on the ethics of contemporary sport. For the purpose of the survey, a questionnaire "Ethics of Sport" has been constructed. The survey has been carried out from April to June 2009 in two Croatian cities: Rijeka and Zagreb. The significant results obtained through adequate statistical methods confirm the recognition of ethical moments in sport in a sense of what is and what is not moral, and at the same time show the incapability of defining and inability of recognizing ethical dilemmas in sport, nor the way of their quality and systematic solving. This speaks in favor of necessity of systematic education in the ethics of sport (ethics in sport) and its implementation into the curriculums of the Faculties of Kinesiology in Croatia.
