All these structures consider the internal regulations MPCC, much more stringent than international rules, is a practical solution to the crisis in cycling.
Indeed, managers who have the duty and the power to say « enough Doping » solemnly undertake to apply zero tolerance:
– To withdraw from the race any runner from the announcement of his positive test

– Do not enter riders suspended for more than 6 months of facts or doping rule violation under Articles 2.1 to 2.8 of the World Anti-Doping Code for 24 months after the suspension, except for runners confess immediately (within 72 hours) or three riders penalized for breaches Geolocation system administration and management ADAMS doping

MPCC has also created three groups of members to provide decision-makers involved in cycling, the opportunity to participate directly and actively in the renewal of a credible cycling:
– « Members Sponsors »
– « Members Organizers »
– And « Members Federations. »
Each group « Members » (from 10 members) shall have one vote at the general meeting and thus participate in the life of MPCC.
As stipulated in the statutes MPCC since its inception, it was decided to initiate actions for damages against other racers or people who would likely damage the image of cycling and its various partners.
And following the confession Lance Armstrong is asked our legal services to explore the possibility of engaging with all the stakeholders, an action for damages for breach of cycling’s image, for fraud or other head of prosecutions that could be used.
MPCC members solemnly request international bodies, WADA, IOC and UCI to work together and get to work to bring concrete solutions.
