UCI Regulations for Results Management 2023
The Union Cycliste Internationale's Regulations for Results Management, February 2023 edition.
| Edition | February 2023 |
| In force from | 1 January 2021 — as expressly stated in the document itself |
| Basis | The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) International Standard for Results Management |
What these regulations govern
The UCI Anti-Doping Rules (Part 14) are not sufficient on their own. Three complementary sets of regulations — Results Management, Testing and Investigations and Therapeutic Use Exemptions — apply alongside them, and the Anti-Doping Tribunal Procedural Rules govern the conduct of proceedings. All four documents are available on this site.
The Regulations for Results Management (UCI RMR) implement the provisions of the WADA International Standard for Results Management and complement the UCI Anti-Doping Rules. Their subject matter is the path a test result follows from the moment of notification through to the final decision.
Key points
- Relationship with the World CodeThis document is the link between the UCI regulations and the WADA International Standard; both upstream instruments are relevant to its interpretation.
- General principles of results managementPart two of the document is devoted to general principles — the framework beneath which the remaining parts are read.
- Shared definitionsPart one takes its terms from the Anti-Doping Rules and the UCI anti-doping regulations; the terms therefore carry the same meaning across all three documents and are not to be interpreted separately.
- In force from 2021The document expressly states that it entered into force on 1 January 2021; the February 2023 edition continues the same framework with amendments.
Who this document matters to
In defending a doping case, a large proportion of procedural objections arise from this document: whether notifications were properly given, whether time limits were observed, and whether the stages of results management were completed in the correct order.
