All riders have the right to compete in cycling knowing that they, and their competitors, are clean.
Welsh Cycling believes in clean cycling and, alongside British Cycling, works in partnership with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and the UCI to ensure that the integrity of our sport is protected.
The use of performance-enhancing drugs and other doping behaviour severely damages the legitimacy of cycling and undermines the integrity of clean riders.
The fundamental anti-doping principle of strict liability means that a rider is responsible for their conduct, the decisions they make and the results of any test they undergo regardless of whether or not they intended to cheat.
It is therefore important that all riders conduct themselves within the rules and make informed decisions to ensure they race clean.
For more information see race clean and details of current rules.
