True or false: A top leader's increased responsibilities and rights are automatic simply due to the title.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not enough information

Answer: (B)

Authority and duties are not automatic just because someone has a title. In sport ethics, a top leader is expected to model integrity, protect participants, and uphold fair play, but the specific rights to make decisions, allocate resources, or discipline others come from formal policies, codes of conduct, and governance structures—not simply from being at the top. These powers and the accompanying responsibilities are defined, granted, and sometimes limited by contracts, regulations, and oversight, and they come with accountability for how they’re used. So the statement isn’t correct: the title alone does not automatically confer increased rights and duties.
