The ITA acknowledges UCI decision concerning Ilkhan Dostiyev

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has announced that Kazak rider Ilkhan Dostiyev has been sanctioned with a period of ineligibility of four years following an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) for the presence of Methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta (CERA)1 in two samples collected as a result of intelligence-led testing by the International Testing Agency (ITA) out-of-competition on 30 July 2024 and in-competition on 17 August 2024 during the Turul Romaniei (Tour of Romania).

In accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code) and the UCI Anti-Doping Rules (UCI ADR), the period of ineligibility started on 9 September 2024 and will remain in force until 8 September 2028.

The case has been resolved by way of an acceptance of consequences as provided for by the Code and the UCI ADR.

The ITA will not provide any further comment regarding the case.

The UCI delegated the operational activities of its anti-doping program to the ITA for independent expert management in January 2021.
