An online whereabouts system is set to replace the current method where riders are required to send their location to the International Cycling Union (UCI) via faxes. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the new procedure will start January 1, 2008.
The online whereabouts system, known as Anti-Doping Administrative Management System (ADAMS), will enable riders to enter login with a username and password and then enter their location. The system, already implemented by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in other sports, will only be available in English, French, Spanish, German and Chinese – the current UCI athlete location form is currently available in Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese versions.
