The UCI reveals its programmes to combat doping and technological fraud at the 2025 Tour de France

July 2, 2025

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) reveals its programmes to combat anti-doping and technological fraud that it will implement for the upcoming Tour de France (5-27 July).

The comprehensive anti-doping programme deployed at the French Grand Tour will be led by the International Testing Agency (ITA), the body to which the UCI delegated its anti-doping programme in 2021, whilst retaining results management and the prosecution of anti-doping rule violations.

As part of its anti-doping mandate for the UCI, the ITA is responsible for the year-round implementation of the cycling anti-doping programme. Within this framework, the ITA will independently manage the clean sport strategy for the 2025 Tour de France. This programme features a targeted, intelligence-led testing plan grounded in the latest scientific developments and risk-based analysis. UCI
