The ITA reports that cyclist Kyrylo Tsarenko has agreed¹ to the consequences for his ADRV under Article 2.4 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules (UCI ADR)².
Following three instances of late submission of whereabouts filings, which resulted in three filing failures within a 12-month period, the ITA and Kyrylo Tsarenko have reached an agreement on consequences in relation to the ADRV.
The Rider did not challenge the ADRV and agreed with the consequences proposed by the ITA on behalf of the UCI, namely a one-year period of ineligibility³ and disqualification of results. Accordingly, the case was resolved via an agreement on consequences.
Considering that the rider was serving a provisional suspension, which he accepted on a voluntary basis pending the proceedings, the rider’s period of ineligibility ended on 30 June 2026. All the rider’s competitive results obtained from 1 July 2025 until 3 December 2025 are disqualified, including forfeiture of medals, points and prizes.
No party with a right of appeal has challenged the decision before the Appeals Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The case is therefore final.
The ITA will not comment further on this case.
¹ Riders have the right to choose not to have their case referred to a hearing panel. In these instances, the anti-doping organisation will assess the rider’s case file and establish the applicable consequences pursuant to the anti-doping rules and the rider will have the right to accept the proposed consequences. If the rider refuses the proposed consequences, the case is transferred to a hearing panel. This resolution mechanism is provided for in articles 8.3.1 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules and 8.3 of the World Anti-Doping Code and is commonly referred to as an agreement on consequences and is deemed a UCI/ITA decision.
² Riders included in a Registered Testing Pool (RTP), such as Kyrylo Tsarenko, have the obligation to provide daily whereabouts as well as a specific daily 60-minute time slot where they will be available for testing. The purpose is to allow anti-doping organisations to locate riders for unannounced out-of-competition testing. Any combination of three missed tests (which relate to the riders’ unavailability with respect to their 60-minute time slot) and/or filing failures (which are caused by the riders’ failure to provide accurate whereabouts) committed within a twelve-month period amount to an ADRV as per article 2.4 of the UCI ADR and World Anti-Doping Code. The consequences for such ADRV are a period of Ineligibility between one and two years and the disqualification of results obtained since the date of the ADRV, namely the date of the occurrence of third whereabouts failure (article 10.3.2 UCI ADR).
³ Under Article 10.3.2 of the UCI ADR, the period of ineligibility for an ADRV under Article 2.4 is two years, subject to a possible reduction to a minimum of one year if the Rider is able to show a low level of Fault. Mitigation of the sanction is not available to riders where a pattern of last-minute whereabouts changes or other conduct raises a serious suspicion that the rider was trying to avoid being available for Testing.
