August 24, 2012 – The recent news of the USADA vs Lance Armstrong case is not related to our current state of affairs in professional cycling. The sport of cycling, governed by the International Cycling Union (UCI), and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is a leader among all sports in its anti-doping policies, with the most stringent policies actively in place among professional sports.

The UCI has done excellent work in bringing forward leading edge anti-doping programs, such as the Biological passport implemented in 2002, that every professional cyclist racing today must adhere to and abide by. The programs implemented by the UCI have resulted in clean competition for cycling.

I have personally been the longest supporter of a clean sport – all sport, and that is the philosophy and culture we are promoting at Cycle Sport Management.”
