UCI willing to provide amnesty to those who testify to drug-use probe

Cycling’s world governing body the UCI is willing to provide an amnesty for those who give evidence to its independent commission on drug use in the sport, providing that does not contravene the World Anti-Doping Agency code.

WADA and the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the body which investigated and disclosed the misdemeanours in which Lance Armstrong was a central protagonist, believe it is imperative witnesses give evidence “without fear of retribution or retaliation from the UCI”.
