Preface These Anti -Doping Rules are adopted and implemented in accordance with the UCI's responsibilities under the Code , and in furtherance of UCI's continuing efforts to eradicate doping in sport. |
They are intended to implement the 2021 version of the Code , with effect on 1st January 2021, for the sport of cycling. |
They form an integral part of the UCI Cycling Regulations (Part 14 Anti-Doping Rules). |
These Anti -Doping Rules are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. |
Rider s, Rider Support Personnel and other Persons accept these rules as a condition of participation or involvement in cycling and shall be bound by them. |
These Anti -Doping Rules are intended to apply autonomously and not by reference to existing law or statutes. |
The rules and procedures provided for by these Anti -Doping Rules are sport -specific, aimed at enforcing anti -doping rules in a global and harmonized way and are distinct in nature from criminal and civil proceedings. |
They are not intended to be subject to or limited by any national requirements and legal standards applicable to such proceedings, although they are intended to be applied in a manner which respects the principles of proportionality and human rights. |
When reviewing the facts and the law of a given case, all courts, arbitral tribunals and other adjudicating bodies should be aware of and respect the distinct nature of these Anti -Doping Rules, which implement the Code , and the fact that these rules represent the consensus of a br oad spectrum of stakeholders around ... |
While retaining its ultimate responsibilities as an Anti-Doping Organization and Signatory of the Code , any Anti-Doping Activities under these Anti -Doping Rules may be delegated by the UCI to a Delegated Third Party. |
When the UCI has delegated its responsibilit y to implement all or part of the tasks and activities under the se Anti-Doping Rules to a Delegated Third Party, any referen ce to the UCI in these Rules should be intended as a reference to the Delegated Third Party , where applicable and within the context of the aforeme... |
The UCI shall always remain fully responsible for ensuring that any delegated aspects are performed in compliance with the Code . |
Italicized terms used in these Anti -Doping Rules are defined in Appendix 1. |
Unless otherwise specified, references to Articles are references to Articles of these Anti -Doping Rules. |
B. |
Fundamental Rationale for the Code and these Anti -Doping Rules Anti-doping programs are founded on the intrinsic value of sport. |
This intrinsic value is often referred to as "the spirit of sport": the ethical pursuit of human excellence through the dedicat ed perfection of each Rider ’s natural talents. |
Anti-doping programs seek to protect the health of Rider s and to provide the opportunity for Rider s to pursue human excellence without the Use of Prohibited Substances and Methods . |
Anti-doping programs see k to maintain the integrity of sport in terms of respect for rules, other competitors, fair competition, a level playing field, and the value of clean sport to the world. |
The spirit of sport is the celebration of the human spirit, body and mind. |
It is the essence of Olympism and is reflected in the values we find in and through sport, including: UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS Page 6 of 70 UCI ADR 2021 • Health • Ethics, fair play and honesty • Rider s’ rights as set forth in the Code • Excellence in performance • Character and Education • Fun and joy • Te... |
Doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport. |
C. Scope of these Anti -Doping Rules These Anti -Doping Rules shall apply to: (a) The UCI, including its board members, directors, officers and specified employees, and Delegated Third Parties and their employees, who are involved in any Anti-Doping Activities ; (b) National Fe derations , including their board mem... |
However, if a Person participates in the sport of cycling governed by the UCI without being holder of a licen ce as required, he will not escape application of the regulations, including these Anti -Doping Rules.] |
