2011 Änderungen / Verschärfungn betr. Staff und Fahrer
Nichtanstellung von Fahrern nach Sanktionen
„… the CCP decided to submit to the Management Committee – which will meet in Maastricht tomorrow and Friday – a proposal aiming to prevent any rider returning to competition after a suspension of at least two years for violation of the Anti-Doping Regulation to contribute to the establishment of his team’s sporting value during the registration procedure.
If the UCI Management Committee approves, this measure, which means that during a period of two years these riders’ points would not be taken into account, will take effect from this year. (UCI-Press release, 15.6.2011)
„…After ratifying the measures proposed on Thursday by the Professional Cycling Council (PCC) on the subject of riders returning to competition after a period of suspension for violation of the Anti-Doping Regulation (see press release dated 15th June)“ (UCI-Press release, 17.06.2011
Ausschluss dopingbelasteter Staff-Mitglieder
Das Management Committee der UCI beschloss im Juni 2011 Maßnahmen mittels denen das Management der Teams verstärkt in die Verantwortung gegen Doping einbezogen werden soll.
Zum einen müssen die Teams Verfahrenskosten, die bislang die UCI zu tragen hatte, übernehmen. Zum anderen dürfen ab dem 1.7.2011 dopingsanktionierte Personen, Angestellte jeglicher Funktion, unter bestimmten Bedingungen nicht mehr beschäftigt werden. Die Ausnahmen sind jedoch großzügig bemessen, so dass ein Ausschluss in vielen Fällen, zumal Altfällen, nicht möglich ist. Von bekannten dopingbelasteten Management-Mitgliedern der ProTeams haben so gut wie alle nichts zu befürchten.
