Your future stars…. Ladies and gentlemen…..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

All waiting for the next chance to step up to Pro! We’d be fools if we think the current crop of guys race clean! When records are falling everywhere… insane 80km solo breakaways etc etc… need I  say more?

Romanian XC racer Vlad Dascalu has been found guilty of an anti-doping rule violation by the UCI Anti-Doping Tribunal for "committing three whereabouts failures in a 12-month period" and has been given a 17-month suspension. This means that he will not be allowed to compete at the Paris Olympics, the rest of the 2024 XC World Cup season, and the entire 2025 XC World Cup season.

The Trek Factory Racing rider is always a contender for the XC World Cup podium and finished 10th in the XCO at round one in Mairipora and 9th in the XCO at round two in Araxa. 

Dascalu is one of over 1000 pro cyclists who are part of the UCI Out-of-Competition Testing Program. An essential part of the anti-doping program is that Anti-Doping Organisations (ADO) must be able to "locate athletes at any time and to conduct tests on a no advance notice basis." 

As a member of the Registered Testing Pool, Dascalu must supply the International Testing Agency with a three-month schedule of his whereabouts information before each quarterly period and be "available for Testing at the location and time specified in the 60-minute time slot identified in their Whereabouts Filing for the day in question."

A late or incomplete submission is a Whereabouts Failure, insufficient/inaccurate information is a Whereabouts Failure, and 3 Whereabouts Failures in 12 months is an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.

Dirtier than a Bucharist prison cell or just behind on his admin?

Would love to know how this works in actual real world. Must be stressful having your whereabouts constantly updated the whole time. but rulz is rulz

It’s on the UCI and WADA websites. It’s really quite a pain in the arse and easy to fall foul of. You could be taking a dump on a cruise vessel that’s docking 1 day late due to weather and if you don’t pitch for the pee pee part at the designated location it’s a strike.

the Mexican rider Gerardo Ulloa, met a similar fate to Dascalu last year

I' hope there is a way to appeal but I suspect that they have probably already given him an opportunity to explain the failure to be present. That said, if circumstances are truly beyond your control surely you'd be excused?

I’m not sure what the number is but very few riders get the sanction overturned. The view is that you can communicate any change of circumstance via email, sms or via the WADA website.

narrow minded thinking isn’t new to governing bodies , but the riders, their coaches , teams and all support staff are considered complicit so they expect you to communicate a change in circumstance via any of these resources too
