Chapter V ORGANISATION

Jurisdiction

  • 12.5.004 Unless otherwise specifically provided, the Disciplinary Commission has jurisdiction to judge and sanction infringements contained in this Part and the UCI Regulations. This jurisdiction may be exercised regardless of whether the alleged violation has already been sanctioned by the Commissaires’ Panel in accordance with the table of race incidents.

The Disciplinary Commission also has jurisdiction concerning race incidents in the following circumstances:

  • To hear appeals against the fines listed under the terms of article 12.4.001 lit. a to d. Such appeals must contain a description of the events and a copy of the decision by the Commissaires’ Panel that is contested.

  • To decide in first instance all race incident infringements which i) may have an influence on the sporting conduct or result of an event, or ii) which concern the unauthorised use of equipment, or iii) which relate to the ineligibility of a rider to take part in an event, or iv) were susceptible of causing a risk of safety. In either of these circumstances, the Disciplinary Commission shall have jurisdiction to review the infringement in case the facts were not observed by the Commissaires’ Panel or in case all relevant facts for the assessment of the infringement were not available at the time the Commissaires’ Panel disbanded. In the latter case, the decision of the Disciplinary Commission replaces the decision of the Commissaires’ Panel, whether a sanction was imposed or not. The Disciplinary Commission may apply sanctions which are provided for in the discipline’s table of race incidents and/or those listed in article 12.1.002.

The Road Sub-Committee has jurisdiction to judge and sanction infringements under the jurisdiction of the Disciplinary Commission which meet the following cumulative requirements:

  • The infringement is committed in the context of UCI WorldTour and UCI ProSeries events for men and UCI Women’s WorldTour and UCI ProSeries for women;

  • The circumstances do not warrant the imposition of sanctions in excess of 30 days of suspension and/or 5’000 CHF of fine;

  • The main facts which are relevant for the assessment of the infringement are readily available.

The Disciplinary Commission shall assess the admissibility of the cases referred to it and may refer any case which it considers inadmissible or which does not fall within its competence to the UCI or any other competent judicial body.
