The International Cycling Union (UCI) has noted with surprise the declarations of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on the subject of the lawsuit against Mr Richard Pound and must reiterate that the case brought against him does not in any way target the institution of which he was formerly the President. The UCI has always made a very clear distinction between WADA and Mr Pound.
Furthermore, the UCI has always maintained an excellent working relationship with WADA, including during the period when statements made by Mr Pound were harmful to this relationship.
More recently, the UCI has appreciated the role played by WADA in establishing the biological passport and hopes that it will continue to make a commitment in this respect. If WADA were unfortunately to decide to withdraw from the biological passport programme, the UCI would nevertheless continue its best efforts to implement the programme.
