This partnership strengthens our intelligence-ledapproach and we now have an unprecedented level of collaboration with anti-doping organisations aroundthe world."

Under the agreement, USADA and the UCI – through the CADF – will also work together on testing plans forUCI-sanctioned events in the United States. The organisations will share appropriate whereaboutsinformation, testing results, and other data.
