Chapter III DISCIPLINARY MEASURES

§ 3 Disqualification

12.3.004 The disqualification of a rider or team shall invalidate all results and classifications achieved in the events in question and the forfeiture of all related prizes, points and medals.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the placing of a disqualified rider or team shall be taken by the next rider or team in the classification, such that all placings are always occupied. As an exception, in a multiphase event which involves the direct competition of two or more riders or teams, a rider or team shall not take the place of a disqualified rider or team if direct competition has not taken place between them in the last phase.

A rider disqualified from a stage race shall not be permitted to participate in any other event for the duration of the race for which he was penalised, failing which he may be sanctioned by the Disciplinary Commission.

Unless otherwise specified, the disqualification of a rider or team occurring after the publication of a UCI ranking that is taken into account for the allocation of quotas (e.g. according to the qualification system for the Olympic Games or UCI World Championships), mandatory team invitations, or the evaluation of sporting criteria for UCI WorldTour and UCI Women's WorldTour licences, shall not result in any subsequent changes to the allocation of quotas. When a quota or invitation is allocated on an individual basis, the resulting disqualification and/or loss of UCI points shall be taken into account, even after the publication of quotas or invitations.
