Astana react to UCI statement

Astana have said that they will agree to be formally monitored by the University of Lausanne for the remainder of 2015, following the release of the Licence Commission’s reasoned decision regarding the non-withdrawal of the team’s WorldTour licence.

“Astana Pro Team has learned of the UCI Licence Commission's reasoned decision and agrees to collaborate with the Institute of Sport Sciences at the University of Lausanne to be the ninth team formally monitored by ISSUL - and thus adhere to the 2017 UCI World Tour reforms,” a statement on the team’s website read. “Astana Pro Team will seek to employ third-party experts to assist in this task.”

On Tuesday, the UCI released the Licence Commission’s seven-page reason decision, saying that they were satisfied with the outcome. Late last month, the Licence Commission chose not to withdraw Astana’s WorldTour licence and concluded that the team were implementing sufficient anti-doping measures.
