The Forde Case Before The CAS
The UCI Anti-Doping Commission took knowledge of the decision issued on 23 February 2006 by the Barbados Cycling Federation, in the case of the rider Barry Forde.
The Barbados Cycling Federation considered that the anti-doping control undergone by Barry Forde on 28 October 2006 – at the 6 days event in Grenoble – which control revealed the presence of a high rate of testosterone in the athlete’s urine, might not prevail on the Barbados Cycling Federation to sanction its licensee.
Having studied the case, the UCI Anti-Doping Commission does not agree with the arguments raised by the Barbados Cycling Federation.
Consequently, the International Cycling Union will lodge an appeal against this decision before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
