运动员使用的科技赋能型装备在提升竞技表现水平的同时，也可能形成不公平竞争优势，构成“科技兴奋剂”，损害竞技体育的公平竞争精神。认定此类科技赋能型装备是否在竞技体育比赛中形成不公平竞争优势，应同时确立实质性标准与程序层面的证明责任及证明标准。实质性标准包含2项核心要求，即不得损害竞技体育项目的核心竞技要素，且科学技术介入程度受到刚性约束。在证明责任的分配上，应明确由国际单项体育协会承担法定证明责任，并以盖然性占优势作为证明尺度，对科学技术介入持审慎的预防立场。就我国而言，对用于竞技体育比赛的科技赋能型装备应从严规制，国内体育组织应密切关注相关规制的国际标准，在国内竞技体育领域发生科技赋能型装备纠纷时，由其承担运动员使用该装备构成不公平竞争优势的证明责任。

While technology-empowered competitive equipment used by athletes enhances performance, it may simultaneously create an unfair competitive advantage, amounting to a form of “technological doping” that undermines the spirit of fairness in competitive sports. To determine whether such equipment confers an unfair advantage, both substantive criteria and procedural rules governing the burden and standard of proof must be established. The substantive standard contains two core requirements: the essential competitive elements of each sport must not be impaired, and the degree of technological intervention must be subject to rigid constraints. The procedural standard explicitly places the legal burden of proof on the international sports federation, adopts the preponderance of probability as the evidentiary standard, and maintains a cautious, precautionary stance toward technological intervention. In the Chinese context, technology-empowered equipment used in competitive sports should be subject to stringent regulation. Domestic sports organizations should closely follow relevant international regulatory standards and, in the event of disputes arising from technology-empowered equipment in domestic competitive sports, bear the burden of proving that an athlete’s use of such equipment creates an unfair competitive advantage.
