UCI weighs appeal after Valjavec decision
The International Cycling Union is studying a Slovenian ruling which rejected biological passport evidence that rider Tadej Valjavec was doping before deciding whether to appeal to sport's highest court.
The UCI said on Friday it must translate the detailed judgment by Slovenia's anti-doping organisation which declined to sanction 33-year-old Valjavec.
Cycling's governing body can challenge the Slovenian decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The UCI asked Slovenian authorities in May to investigate Valjavec based on suspicious blood profile results in samples provided for his biological passport.
Valjavec was named in a second round of cases brought under the
UCI's pioneering anti-doping programme.
