In June 2013 the UCI reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Roman Kreuzinger on the irregularities in his Athlete’s Biological Passport (ABP) and offered him an “acceptance of sanction”. After deliberations between the Athlete and the UCI a provisional suspension was ordered on 2 August 2014 and the disciplinary proceedings were referred by the UCI to the Czech Cycling Federation.
Hereafter in August 2014 the Athlete appealed the UCI decision for imposing a provisional suspension with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The Athlete requested the Panel to set aside the UCI decision and argued that the Decision for imposing a provisional suspension is illegal and inconsistent with the UCI’s Rules and Regulations.
The UCI contended that the imposition of provisional measures was valid and according to the UCI ADR and the WADA Code.
The Panel concludes that none of the provisions in the UCI ADR enumerated by the Athlete speaks against the legitimacy of the reasons given in the Challenged Decision about the imposition of the provisional measure.
Therefore the Court of Arbitration for Sport decides on 24 September 2014 that:
1.) The appeal filed on 5 August 2014 by Mr Roman Kreuziger against the decision adopted by the UCI Anti-Doping Hearing Panel on 2 August 2014 is dismissed.
2.) The decision adopted by the UCI Anti-Doping Hearing Panel on 2 August 2014 is confirmed.
3.) (…).
4.) (…).
5.) All other motions or prayers for relief are dismissed.
