14 years later nothing has changed because some managers do not want that to change.
MPCC « MOTION FOR CYCLING CREDIBLE » was created in 2007, as some teams do not respect the basic rules.
It aims to establish ethical standards of conduct and the teams WORLD TOUR, PRO CONTINENTAL CONTINENTAL-based and voluntary.
In fact certain provisions obvious to some, may not be included in an international regulation, such as:
– Do not run a runner from the positive results of the first analysis
– Do not engage runner who had a positive suspension of more than six months (except in cases related to a fault location …) during the two years following the suspension.
– Do not make intra-articular injection of corticosteroids without stopping competition of 8 days.
– Perform internal procedures from the first positive case in the team.
– Practicing self-suspension for several positive cases in the last 12 months.

Proposals will be made:

When the bike is looking real credibility to its sponsors, to the press and to the public, it is important that as many teams show their determination to fight against doping, credibility and image.
