2. Anti-doping authorities are all set to introduce a rule to
allow for night-time anti-doping tests after the French
legal system did not allowed them to conduct anti-doping
tests on cyclists during night time at this year's Tour de
France.
Night-time tests were carried out before the Tour de
France. Presently, the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD)
is unable to carry out night time doping tests. In-
competition night-time tests can be carried out in
countries such as Belgium, Spain, Serbia, and Australia.
Before this year's Tour, President Brian Cookson remarked
he understands from the cycling Anti-Doping Foundation
(CADF) that the first night-time tests have taken place
and that is a part of our armory in the fight against
doping.

3. The UCI recently introduced night-time testing after the Cycling
Independent Reform Commission (CIRC) submitted a report earlier
this year. The report suggested testing during night should be
implemented to fight against doping in the sport.
Lars Ytting Bak, the Danish professional road bicycle racer for UCI
ProTour team Lotto-Soudal, remarked he was not woken up when
asked if he knew of anyone who had been given a night test at the
Tour. Bak remarked he is 100 percent against the use of banned
performance enhancing drugs and cyclists should stop doping. The
Lotto-Soudal rider added it is 100 per cent against the rhythm of a
human being to be woken up in the middle of the night and it is
against our recovery, against everything but also said he hoped the
application of the new testing schedule would be fair. Bak also
commented that it is also a disadvantage because when you are in full
sleep you get so angry when someone wakes you up.
