In the event of any conflict between the English and French versions, the English version shall prevail. |
The comments annotating various provisions of these Anti -Doping Rules shall be used to interpret the Anti -Doping Rules. |
These Anti -Doping Rul es shall be interpreted as an independent and autonomous text and not by reference to the existing law or statutes of the Signatories or governments. |
The headings used for the various Parts and Articles of the se Anti -Doping Rules are for convenience only a nd shall not be deemed part of the substance of the Anti-Doping Rules or to affect in any way the language of the provisions to which they refer. |
Where the term “days” is used in these Anti -Doping Rules or related Regulations , it shall mean calendar days u nless otherwise specified. |
These Anti -Doping Rules shall not apply retroactively to matters pending before the date the Code is accepted by a Signatory and implemented in its rules. |
However, pre -Code anti-doping rule violations would continue to count as "First violations" or "Second violations" for purposes of determining sanctions under Article 10 for subsequent post -Code violations. |
The Introduction to the Anti -Doping Rules and Appendix 1 (Definiti ons) shall be considered integral parts of the se Anti -Doping Rules . |
TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS General Application of these Anti -Doping Rules These Anti-Doping Rules shall apply in full as of 1 January 2021 (the “Effective Date”). |
UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS Page 61 of 70 UCI ADR 2021 Non-Retroactive except for Articles 10.9.4 and 17 or Unless Principle of “Lex Mitior” Applies Any anti -doping rule violation case which is pending as of the Effective Date and any anti-doping rule violation case brought after the Effective Date based on an anti -doping rule violation which occurred prior to the Effective Date shall be governed by the substantive anti -doping rules in effect at the time the alleged anti -doping rule vio lation occurred, and not by the substantive anti -doping rules set out in these Anti -Doping Rules or the Code , unless the panel hearing the case determines the principle of “lex mitior” appropriately applies under the circumstances of the case. |
For these pu rposes, the retrospective periods in which prior violations can be considered for purposes of multiple violations under Article 10.9.4 and the statute of limitations set forth in Article 17 are procedural rules, not substantive rules, and should be applied retroactively along with all of the other procedural rules in the se Anti -Doping Rules or the Code (provided, however, that Article 17 shall only be applied retroactively if the statute of limitations period has not already expired by the Effective Date). |
Application to Decisions Rendered Prior to 1 January 2021 With respect to cases where a final decision finding an anti -doping rule violation has been rendered prior to the Effective Date, but the Rider or other Person is still serving the period of Ineligibility as of the Effective Date, the Rider or other Person may apply to the Anti-Doping Organization which had Results Management responsibility for the anti -doping rule violation to consider a reduction in the period of Ineligibility in light of the 20 21 Code . |
Such application must be made before the period of Ineligibility has expired. |
The decision rendered by the Anti-Doping Organization may be appealed pursuant to Article 13.2. |
The 2021 Code shall have no application to any antidoping rule violation case where a final decision finding an anti -doping rule violation has been rendered and the period of Ineligibility has expired. |
Multiple Violations Where the First Violation Occurs Prior to 1 January 2021 For purposes of assessing the period of Ineligibi lity for a second violation under Article 10.9.1, where the sanction for the first violation was determined based on pre -2021 Code rules, the period of Ineligibility which would have been assessed for that first violation had 2021 Code rules been applicabl e, shall be applied . |
Comment to Article 27.4: Other than the situation described in Article 27.4, where a final decision finding an anti -doping rule violation has been rendered prior to the existence of the Code or under the Code in force before the 2021 C ode and the period of Ineligibility imposed has been completely served, the 2021 Code may not be used to re -characterize the prior violation.] |
Additional Amendments These Anti -Doping Rules may be amended from time to time by the UCI, subject to the transitional provisions provided in this Article 27 or any other transitional provisions that the UCI may adopt with the amendment. |
Changes to the Prohibited List Changes to the Prohibited Lis t and Technical Documents relating to substan ces or methods on the Prohibited List shall not, unless they specifically provide otherwise, be applied retroactively. |
As an exception, however, when a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method has been removed from the Prohibited List , a Rider or other Person currently serving a period of Ineligibility on account of the formerly Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method may apply to the Anti-Doping Organization which had Results Management responsibility for the antidoping rule violation to consider a redu ction in the period of Ineligibility in light of the removal of the substance or method from the Prohibited List . |

However for Grand Tours the period commences at UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS Page 64 of 70 UCI ADR 2021 midnight three days before the Event is set to begin and finishes at midnight the day on which the Event ends (for example: the Event Period for a one -day road race scheduled to start on 19 December at 10:00 starts on 18 December at 00:01 and finishes on 19 December at 23:59). |
Event Venues : At UCI International Events , the area where the Event is taking place as well as the accommodations where the Rider s participating in such Event are staying. |
Fault : Fault is any breach of duty or any lack of care appropriate to a particular situation. |
Factors to be taken into consideration in assessing a Rider ’s or other Person’s degree of Fault include, for example, the Rider ’s or other Person’s experience, wh ether the Rider or other Person is a Protected Person , special considerations such as impairment, the degree of risk that should have been perceived by the Rider and the level of care and investigation exercised by the Rider in relation to what should have been the perceived level of risk. |
In assessing the Rider ’s or other Person’s degree of Fault , the circumstances considered must be specific and relevant to explain the Rider ’s or other Person ’s departure from the expected standard of behavior. |
Thus, for e xample, the fact that a Rider would lose the opportunity to earn large sums of money during a period of Ineligibility , or the fact that the Rider only has a short time left in a career, or the timing of the sporting calendar, would not be relevant factors to be considered in reducing the period of Ineligibility under Article 10.6.1 or 10.6.2. |
[Comment to Fault: The criteria for assessing a Rider ’s degree of Fault is the same under all Articles where Fault is to be considered. |
However, under Article 10.6.2, no reduction of sanction is appropriate unless, when the degree of Fault is assessed, the conclusion is that No Significant Fault or Negligence on the part of the Rider or other Person was involved.] |
Financial Consequences : See Consequences of Ant i-Doping Rule Violations above. |
