There are many ways to run afoul of the UCI, but this is a new one for us. Apparently after showing up to a race without enough riders, an American Women’s cycling team was caught trying to present a team mechanic as their 5th rider.
As a result, all team members as outlined below were found to “have participated in a fraud under article 12.4.008 of the UCI Regulations.” The Disciplinary Commission found that, although only four riders were present and available to start the event, several members of the team had participated in a fraud under article 12.4.008 of the UCI Regulations by attempting to deceive the Commissaires’ Panel into believing that a fifth rider was present and could take part in the event.
Moira Barrett played an active role in the fraud by wearing a rider’s clothes and attempting to sign the start sheet as the team’s fifth rider. She was sanctioned with a suspension from any activity in cycling until 1st September 2024.
