Founded in 1900 in Paris (France), the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) is the world governing body for cycling. It develops and oversees cycling in all its forms and for everyone, as a competitive sport, a healthy recreational activity, as well as a means of transport and enjoyment. The UCI manages and promotes eleven cycling disciplines: road cycling, track cycling, mountain biking, BMX Racing, BMX Freestyle, cyclo-cross, trials, indoor cycling, cycling esports, gravel, and snow bike. Five of these disciplines are included in the programme of the Olympic Games (road, track, mountain bike, BMX Supercross and BMX Freestyle Park), and two are part of the Paralympic Games programme (road and track). Cycling is also included in the programme of the Youth Olympic Games.
Stakeholder Contributions
The funding of the anti-doping programme delegated to the ITA is approved by a Funding Committee composed of the main stakeholders in cycling, namely the UCI and, representing respectively the riders, the organisers and the teams, the Cyclistes Professionnels Associés (CPA), the Association Internationale des Organisateurs de Courses Cyclistes (AIOCC) and the Association Internationale des Groupes Cyclistes Professionnels (AIGCP).
Professional road cycling teams and organisers of races on the UCI WorldTour calendar make a direct financial contribution to the programme, as does the UCI. Other stakeholders, such as riders, organisers and teams from other disciplines, contribute indirectly through the UCI. Funding may vary from year to year depending on the number of teams, races, and other factors.
