Russian and Belarusian athletes are allowed to compete in the World Cycling Championships, which will take place in Scotland this year. (ARCHIVE)

As the association has announced, the athletes will be allowed to compete in international events such as the World Cup in Glasgow in August as “neutral individual athletes”.

The world governing body stated that the athletes should not be associated in any way with Russia or Belarus, their national federations or their National Olympic Committee. Any competitor who wants to start as a “neutral individual athlete” must go through a UCI procedure. At the same time, the association announced that it would continue to support cycling in Ukraine financially.

In cycling, Russian and Belarusian athletes under contract with foreign teams are allowed to compete. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) had left the decision on Russia’s return to competitions to the world federations. The prescriptions of the world associations in view of the constant war of aggression vary widely. (SDA)
