In 2015, we assisted the UCI (International Cycling Union) in both legal and logistical-organisational confidential activities. We worked in cooperation with the judicial police and the competent public prosecutor’s office on checks carried out for the first time during a UCI World Tour ‘classic’ (Milan-San Remo).
The aim of the checks was to uncover possible mechanical infringements in the bikes used by the athletes in the race, i.e. so-called technological doping.
The Elite Law team offered legal advice during the organisational meetings, especially on the connection between the federation’s regulations and the relevant state legislation on criminal matters. The operation was then successfully carried out by the UCI on race day.
