[Comment to In -Competition: Having a universally accepted definition for In -Competition provides greater harmonization among Riders across all sports, eliminates or reduces confusion among Rider s about the relevant timeframe for In -Competition Testing, avoids inadvertent Adverse Analytical Findings in between Competitions during an Event and assists in preventing any potential perf ormance enhancement benefits from Substances prohibited Out -of-Competition being carried over to the Competition period.]

UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS Page 66 of 70 UCI ADR 2021 Operational Independence : This means that (1) board members, staff members, commission members, consultants and officials of the Anti-Dopin g Organization with responsibility for Results Management or its affiliates (e.g., member federation or confederation), as well as any Person involved in the investigation and pre -adjudication of the matter cannot be appointed as members and/or clerks (to the extent that such clerk is involved in the deliberation process and/or drafting of any decision) of hearing panels of that Anti-Doping Organization with responsibility for Results Management and (2) hearing panels shall be in a position to conduct the h earing and decision -making process without interference from the Anti-Doping Organization or any third party.
The objective is to ensure that members of the hearing panel or individuals otherwise involved in the decision of the hearing panel, are not invol ved in the investigation of, or decisions to proceed with, the case.
Out-of-Competition : Any period which is not In-Competition .
Participant : Any Rider or Rider Support Person .
Person : A natural Person or an organization or other entity.
Possession : The actual, physical Possession , or the constructive Possession (which shall be found only if the Person has exclusive control or intends to exercise control over the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method or the premises in which a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method exists); provided, however, that if the Person does not have exclusive control ove r the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method or the premises in which a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method exists, constructive Possession shall only be found if the Person knew about the presence of the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method and intended to exercise control over it.
Provided, however, there shall be no anti -doping rule violation based solely on Possession if, prior to receiving notification of any kind that the Person has committed an anti -doping rule violation, the Person has taken concrete action demonstrating that the Person never intended to have Possession and has renounced Possession by explicitly declaring it to an Anti-Doping Organization .
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this definition, the purchase (includ ing by any electronic or other means) of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method constitutes Possession by the Person who makes the purchase.
[Comment to Possession: Under this definition, anabolic steroids found in a Rider 's car would constitute a violation unless the Rider establishes that someone else used the car; in that event, the Anti -Doping Organization must establish that, even though the Rider did not have exclusive control over the car, the Rider knew about the an abolic steroids and intended to have control over them.
Similarly, in the example of anabolic steroids found in a home medicine cabinet under the joint control of a Rider and spouse, the Anti-Doping Organization must establish that the Rider knew the anabo lic steroids were in the cabinet and that the Rider intended to exercise control over them.
The act of purchasing a Prohibited Substance alone constitutes Possession, even where, for example, the product does not arrive, is received by someone else, or is sent to a third -party address.]

Prohibited Method : Any method so described on the Prohibited List .

[Comment to Protected Person: The Code treats Protected Persons differently than other Rider s or Persons in certain c ircumstances based on the understanding that, below a certain age or intellectual capacity, a Rider or other Person may not possess the mental capacity to understand and appreciate the prohibitions against conduct contained in the Code.
This would include, for example, a Paralympic Athlete with a documented lack of legal capacity due to an intellectual impairment.
The term “open category” is meant to exclude competition that is limited to junior or age group categories.]

However, if an Article 2.1, 2.3 or 2.5 anti -doping rule violati on is committed by any Rider over whom an Anti-Doping Organization has elected to exercise its authority to test and who competes below the international or national level, then the Consequences set forth in the Code must be applied.
