Old Croc Aug 2012 7:18pm, 24 Aug 2012 22,252 posts	Quote Pin Old Croc Daft question - how can USADA announce stripped titles and bans in cycling if UCI haven't done so yet?
SPR Aug 2012 8:07pm, 24 Aug 2012 17,429 posts	Quote Pin SPR Anti doping rules come under the WADA code. UCI signed up to the WADA code, so have to enforce or appeal the verdict.
Old Croc Aug 2012 8:09pm, 24 Aug 2012 22,255 posts	Quote Pin Old Croc so is USADA a higher authority or less than WADA? It just seems like FIFA banning Kevin Pietersen from Indian Tennis
SPR Aug 2012 8:18pm, 24 Aug 2012 17,430 posts	Quote Pin SPR USADA is the national anti-doping agency of the US, UKAD is the UK one, WADA is the world anti-doping agency so higher. ukad.org.uk

Old Croc Aug 2012 8:19pm, 24 Aug 2012 22,256 posts	Quote Pin Old Croc so should the ban be expected from WADA and UCI? How does USADA have any jurisdiction over the TDF results?
JohnnyO Aug 2012 8:21pm, 24 Aug 2012 13,722 posts	Quote Pin JohnnyO UCI are implicated in the USADA case. They may challenge, they don't have to automatically support a WADA decision.
JohnnyO Aug 2012 8:22pm, 24 Aug 2012 13,723 posts	Quote Pin JohnnyO I see the UCI as being like the Premier League or similar. WADA is a regulator, UCI is an organiser. I could be wrong though.
Old Croc Aug 2012 8:24pm, 24 Aug 2012 22,257 posts	Quote Pin Old Croc Thanks JO - I think I am getting it. So he MIGHT be stripped and banned - if you can ban a retired competitor
