Boasting deep roots and a history stretching back over 100 years, Road cycling and the exploits of its champions have always aroused passion and fervour among its fans. Its legendary races provide the high point of the cycling season year after year and attract millions of spectators and viewers. Professional Road cycling

has now gone global and enjoys a strong presence on all five continents. With the aim Y of ensuring it adapts to the realities of the 21st century, the UCI embarked on a reform of professional Road cycling in 2012. Given the fact that such reform has since been to most stakeholders, our strategy must be reviewed and embrace a genuine vision for our sport. Cycling has tremendous potential; we must engage in a project that makes it one of the world’s biggest sports. SOLIDARIT

FOSTER GREATER COLLABORATIONS AMONG ALL MEMBERS OF PROFESSIONAL CYCLING u Encourage dialogue between stakeholders prior to decisions on key issues

Discussions between the stakeholders of men’s professional Road cycling can sometimes be tense. While these tensions often arise when talk turns to the reform, other issues that are central to the proper functioning of our sport can also be a source of discord (standard rider contracts, minimum pay, the obligations of organisers and teams, etc). A preferable course of action would be to arrange for more formal dialogue between stakeholders prior to decisions being made by the UCI, as opposed to re-engaging in debate following a vote. ATTRACTIVNESS • Promote dialogue with cycling’s stakeholders (2018). • Abide by and apply the decisions made (2018). • Provide a formal regulatory framework for dialogue on an equal footing between the (AIOCC), the (AIGCP), and the (CPA), prior to a decision being made by the UCI (2020).

While the bodies representing organisers, teams and riders are essential to the proper functioning of men’s professional Road cycling, they represent only some members ATTRACTIVNESS of the wider family. The UCI has every interest in engaging with strong and fully representative bodies. While there is no wish to interfere in these bodies, the need to make them more representative and improve their governance must be discussed.

• Help make representative bodies even more representative in nature (2019). • Engage in dialogue with the AIOCC, AIGCP and CPA on ways of improving their governance (2019). • Set up a body to oversee management of prizes allocated to the CPA and comprising all stakeholders: AIOCC, AIGCP, CPA and the UCI (2018).

CREDIBILIT AGENDA 2022 | P. 5 6 WORK WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS TO BRING ABOUT CREDIBLE AND AMBITIOUS REFORM VISION u Make new reforms to professional Road cycling

Men’s professional Road cycling must be organised in a clearer way if we are to increase its appeal and its growth around the world, attract new sponsors, ensure the continuity of existing structures, and keep existing fans engaged and attract new ones. The reform implemented in 2017 does not meet these objectives and it is necessary, therefore, to draw up an ambitious project of our own that enables men’s professional Road cycling Y to achieve the status of a major global sport. To ensure this happens, the leadership of the UCI President must be recognised by the stakeholders of professional cycling. The UCI must set clear guidelines in relation to the calendar, race formats, the funding of professional teams, the generation of revenue, budget management, and system regulation. This reform will be discussed in 2018 through an extensive consultation and will be implemented from 2020 onwards. SOLIDARIT

u Improve the business model of professional Road cycling

While men’s professional Road cycling enjoys considerable popular support, its business model must be developed in the interests of the wider cycling family. Many organisers struggle to balance their budgets, and teams are almost entirely dependent on their title sponsors. Moreover, few sponsors are global operators and the economic value of

ATTRACTIVNESS our sport is relatively low in comparison to the world’s leading sports. Improvements must be made to cycling’s business model to make it more stable and attract new investors.

• Bring Road cycling back into the era of professionalism by making it a major global sport on an economic level (2020). • Assess the possibility of organisers pooling TV rights on a voluntary basis, with the involvement of the UCI (2020-2022). • Make sure telemetry data is broadcasted (2020). • Ensure standardised, high-quality TV production through the pooling of production resources (2020-2022). LEGACY • Engage in a discussion on sharing resources acquired through prize money paid to teams (2020). • Organise races at the highest level, retaining the UCI WorldTour designation and organising races into two categories: one featuring the one-day classics and the other the stage races (2020). • Provide prize money for these series (2020). • Sequence events on the calendar by continents and types of race (2021-2022). • Create a unique digital platform with the support of all stakeholders, under the Y auspices of the UCI (2020). • Organise our sport in a clearer way (2020). • Assess the possibility of managing team budgets (2021).

CREDIBILIT AGENDA 2022 | P. 5 8 u Increase the attractiveness of our races VISION The popularity of men’s professional road cycling is founded on its unpredictability and the exploits of its champion riders. It must be said, however, that some races lack appeal, particularly stage races, which can lead to a loss of interest among fans and TV viewers. The contribution made by technologies sometimes results in our races becoming overly similar too each other. If we are to revive interest in cycling, we need to tackle this issue.

• Set up a working group to look at the appeal of races and consider the issues at Y stake (2019). • Review race formats (2020). • Manage the use of new technologies (2020). u Modify the mission of the Professional Cycling Council (PCC)

Founded by the UCI, the PCC runs the UCI WorldTour. Its functions have varied little SOLIDARIT since its creation, and the interface with the second tier of professional cycling ought to be strengthened. With that objective, changes will be made to the way the PCC operates.

• Broaden the PCC’s functions to include the second tier of professional cycling, under the control of the UCI Management Committee (2020). • Set out a regulatory framework for the PCC in the UCI Regulations (2020). • Strengthen the presence of the National Federations in the PCC.

Cycling is a wonderful sport in which the exploits of riders strike a chord with the watching world. To ensure that people continue to follow our sport with passion, we must guarantee the credibility of race results. Our credibility has been undermined by numerous doping scandals and cases of suspected technological fraud. The UCI must now shoulder this responsibility, which is vital to the future of cycling. Y

STRENGTHEN THE PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST TECHNOLOGICAL FRAUD u Implement an effective and credible action plan

Detected at the 2016 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, the first case of SOLIDARIT technological fraud provided proof that mechanical doping was a reality. More cases have since been uncovered in amateur cycling. The UCI will take all necessary measures in stepping up the fight against technological fraud by implementing a credible and effective plan. The future of our sport depends on it.

• Use all existing technological resources to make controls tighter (2018). • Assess the possibility of imposing stiffer penalties, both on athletes, their entourages and teams (2018). • Encourage nations to impose specific criminal penalties (2018-2022). • Analyse performances so that controls can be targeted (2018-2022).

u Develop verification tools and have them tested by independent laboratories

We must always keep abreast of technological developments and miniaturisation. We must prioritise the search for the most appropriate technological control solutions so that we can keep the pressure up on cheats. The UCI will carry out controls using equipment approved by independent laboratories, and the funding needed to roll out LEGACY these technologies will be made available.

• Develop a new generation tablet that is more efficient and cheaper and thus more likely to be used around the world by our National Federations (2019). • Use X-ray technology with recognised partners in checking bikes before and after races (2018). • Conduct more thorough checks by taking bikes apart if necessary (2018-2022). • Develop onboard magnetometer technology to prevent, in real time, the possible Y use of electric aids in competition (2020). • Have measuring tools validated by scientifically renowned, independent laboratories (2018-2020).

CREDIBILIT AGENDA 2022 | P. 62 CONTRIBUTE TO ANTI-DOPING EFFORTS WORLDWIDE VISION u Continue to innovate in the fight against doping and maintain good rapport with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the IOC

The doping scandals of recent years have saddled cycling with a very negative image. Our sport has genuinely grown in terms of awareness and the UCI has been very coherent in its efforts to tackle the problem. Our Federation has been a global leader in this respect. It was the first to introduce anti-doping controls, to carry out analyses detecting the presence of EPO, to measure haematocrit levels, to introduce the Y biological passport, and to delegate its anti-doping programme to an independent body: the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation (CADF).

The fight against doping is ongoing, however. It is a fight that needs to be stepped up, in collaboration with the main stakeholders: WADA, the IOC and government authorities.

At the meeting of its Executive Commission on 1 June 2016 the IOC announced that SOLIDARIT it will continue to advocate that all tests be carried out independently of sporting organisations and that national and international anti-doping programmes be harmonised under the supervision of a new body. The UCI has already taken action in this respect by creating the CADF. Nevertheless, we must keep on innovating to become even more effective in this fight.

• Assess the possibility of opening the CADF up to other sports (2020-2022). • Work with the International Testing Agency (ITA) set up by WADA and the IOC on technical issues and information gathering (2019). • Demand that the World Anti-Doping Code be amended so that riders returning “positive” or “abnormal” test results are provisionally suspended. (2018-2020). • Consolidate, if necessary, the process guaranteeing independence in the legal management of the Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) (2020-2022).

u Continue innovating and roll out a doping prevention plan

While some National Federations have always been at the forefront of the fight against doping, others have lagged and held back by deep-rooted doping cultures. Education and prevention policies thus need to be strengthened and innovative actions and experiences shared.

• Ensure cycling takes the lead in the fight against doping by means of innovative and ground-breaking initiatives (2018-2022). • Set up a doping prevention plan in conjunction with administrators, technical staff, fitness coaches and young riders (2018-2022). • Set up a post dedicated to doping prevention (2020). ATTRACTIVNESS • Request that certain targeted National Federations come up with an education and anti-doping plan (2018-2022). • Implement a specific initiative in South and Central America in conjunction with WADA, the National Anti-Doping Organisations (NADOs), Regional Anti-Doping Organisations (RADOs), the Pan American Cycling Confederation (COPACI) and our National Federations (2019-2022).

u Support the extension of WADA’s Prohibited List

WADA determines which products should go on the Prohibited List. A glance at the List

LEGACY reveals that some products that have been scientifically proven to have an effect on the performance of cyclists continue to be permitted. We must campaign hard for the List to be extended to include certain products.

• Explore, along with WADA, the possibility of preventing the use of certain non- prohibited medications in competition, in view of their health effects (2018-2019). • Demand that tramadol and other pain-relief medications be prohibited in cycling (inclusion in section P1: “Substances prohibited in certain sports) (2018-2019). Y • Call for the regulation of prohibited substances and for methods to be harmonised by enforcing a single mode of prohibition: “at all times and in- and out-of- competition” (2019-2020).

CREDIBILIT AGENDA 2022 | P. 6 4 PROTECT THE ATHLETES VISION u Establish an independent regulatory medical monitoring system

Shaken to its core by a series of doping scandals between 1995 and 2010, the sport of cycling subsequently adopted a policy that focused on the fight against this scourge rather than on medical fitness, which is oriented towards safeguarding the health of athletes and gauges the effects of taking certain permitted and prohibited substances.

• Integrated the IOC’s Medical and Scientific Commission (2020). Y • Set out a specific medical fitness policy for the benefit of athletes (2018-2019). • Engage in independent regulatory medical supervision of teams, applicable in every country (2019-2020). • Recruit a UCI Medical Director, a full-time doctor who is responsible particularly for coordinating this supervision and providing a preferred point of contact with teams and other stakeholders (2018). • Create an epidemiological database of medical fitness and biological criteria and SOLIDARIT which respects medical confidentiality (2019-2022). • Embark on and promote the development of research into cycling-related epidemiology and medicine, particularly for the benefit of lesser-known disciplines (2019-2022). • Develop the relevant medical fitness criteria (2019-2022). • Pool blood testing with that carried out by the CADF for the biological passport, with a view to cutting down the number of actual tests conducted and reducing costs (2018-2019). • Remind team doctors that they are required to approve local cortisone injections and to prescribe a minimum eight-day suspension from work and competition (2019). • Introduce a no-start rule in the event of inadequate parameters, such as a very low cortisol test reading, with a suspension from competition (2019). ATTRACTIVNESS • Approve the use of easily accessible matrices other than blood (or urine) with a view to identifying biological criteria for non-starts (2019-2022). • Improve, if necessary, the administration of Therapeutic Use Exemptions (AUT) in conjunction with WADA (2019).

u Guarantee equal opportunity for all athletes

It is essential that the UCI guarantees that athletes are able to compete on an equal footing with each other and that the athlete is more important than the equipment used. In response to the laxity of recent years, our Federation must take a stricter line in ensuring that every athlete has the same opportunities, while also ensuring there is a place for continued innovation.

• Review procedures for the approval of equipment (2019).

ATTRACTIVNESS • Introduce a rule that states that only equipment launched on to the market by 1 January at the latest may be used for competitions, in particular, for the Olympic Games (2019). • Ban the use of prototypes in competitions (2019). • Draft a strict procedure governing the use of new equipment in competition (2018).

u Enhance race safety and reduce the risk of accidents

Race safety is an essential factor in protecting riders. In recent years there have been too many accidents that could easily have been avoided had stricter rules been in place. The growing number of urban developments has also made competitive road cycling LEGACY more dangerous. The UCI, which is already dealing with this issue, must improve race safety further still in conjunction with all stakeholders.

• Make race safety a priority (2018-2022). • Carry out a scientific study on the rise in the number of race falls and on the reasons for them so that the necessary conclusions can be drawn (2019-2020). • Consolidate the action plan drawn up by the UCI, in collaboration with race organisers, while also taking riders’ concerns into consideration (2020). Y • Alter the size of the peloton in response to race conditions (2020). • Stiffen the penalties imposed in the event of safety rules being violated (2020). • Make a decision on the use of disc brakes with a view to enhancing safety (2018).

CREDIBILIT AGENDA 2022 | P. 6 6 DEVELOP A POLICY ON THE RISKS POSED BY SPORTS BETTING VISION u Strengthen regulations on sports betting

The significant growth of sports betting has had an impact on competition, with the consequences of this being felt through match fixing. Our sport must protect itself from this phenomenon, and this objective involves tightening our regulations.

• Take stock of the sports betting industry and propose appropriate regulations (2019). • Prevent certain forms of betting identified as posing a risk, such as live betting and Y head-to-head betting (2019). • Carry out preventative work and raise awareness among young riders as to the risks of sports betting (2019). • Regulate team sponsorship by betting companies and work with the financial heads of teams to ensure operational independence in particular (2020). u Work with national governments, institutional bodies and private partners to SOLIDARIT monitor betting

Some countries have introduced sports betting legislation as a mean to control operators. The expertise they have acquired could be valuable for the UCI in its strategy to guarantee the credibility of its competitions.

• Liaise with government agencies overseeing sports betting (2019). • Play a part in ongoing monitoring so that it may be implemented in cycling (2020). • Factor the thoughts of the sporting world into the process (2019). u Consider the possibility of regulating communication with riders during races

The possibility of communicating with riders during a race poses a risk to cycling in that ATTRACTIVNESS it could lead to events being fixed, as is the case in other sports. The potential risks to our sport must therefore be assessed.

• Consider the possibility of banning or regulating communication with riders during races (2020). LEGACY Y
