Cycling’s federation faces shake-up with announced commission
The UCI charges its independent review group with a long list of considerations in its evaluation of the federation's doping stance
Cycling has a long and sordid history with doping — that is, taking performance-enhancing drugs (PED) to get ahead in the races. In fact, some of the earliest suspected cases of doping in cycling date back to the late 1800s, when riders would employ stimulants like cocaine to survive epic races, like Bordeaux-Paris, which ran more than 500 kilometers.
