MPCC Overview

The Movement for a Credible Cycling (MPCC) is an association aiming at defending clean cycling. Transparency, responsibility and our members’ engagement are the pillars of our identity. MPCC is also a whistleblower on corticosteroids, tramadol, stilnox and mechanical doping.

MPCC started on 24th July 2007 by 7 professional teams: AG2R Prévoyance, Agritubel, Bouygues Telecom, Cofidis, Crédit Agricole, Française des Jeux et Gerolsteiner. The official creation of the association occurs on 28th September 2007. The objective of the MPCC at the very beginning was to protest against the non-application of a decision regarding the ethical chart of the AIGCP (International Association of Professional Cycling Groups), whereas this decision was unanimously approved. The association’s president, Roger Legeay, has been here since its creation. Back then, Roger was the manager of team Crédit Agricole. Since 2007, teams can join MPCC. Since 2018, riders, staff members and organizers can become members of the movement as well.

Our movement does not force anybody to join and wants its members to commit on a voluntary basis. Any member commits to a number of fundamental rules of the MPCC and is free to leave the association at any time. The Board reserves the right to expel a member should he not respect its rules.

L’adhésion au MPCC est un acte qui ne s’arrête pas dans le temps. Le nouveau membre reste adhérent jusqu’au jour où il décide de le quitter. Cette adhésion “à vie” est justifiée par la base du volontariat. Si le nouveau membre décide de nous rejoindre, c’est que ses idées et sa philosophie du cyclisme correspondent à celles du MPCC. De nombreux organisateurs d’épreuves adhèrent à la philosophie du MPCC à l’image de la Société du Tour de France, qui invite sur ses épreuves du circuit World Tour uniquement des équipes membres du mouvement (Les 19 équipes World Tour étant inscrites d’office).
