MONTREAL (AP) — The World Anti-Doping Agency will monitor drug-testing at next month’s Tour de France.
The International Cycling Union signed the agreement Tuesday. WADA representatives will be able to observe all phases of the UCI’s anti-doping controls, from the selection of riders to be tested to the handling of results. They will also have access to all related documents.
The WADA observers will write a report on UCI’s anti-doping activities after the Tour, which runs July 3-25.
Cycling’s governing body had requested the observers in October, hoping to increase the transparency of its anti-doping efforts.
