The UCI confirmed that its Disciplinary Commission has the power to provisionally suspend Doltcini-Van Eyck team manager Marc Bracke, but that it has not done so, while it makes a decision regarding his sanction as part of an ongoing harassment case.  

The Ethics Commission found that Bracke had violated the Code of Ethics last October. However, the Disciplinary Commission has not provisionally suspended him, which means that he can continue working in the sport until an official pronouncement.
