The ITA reports that cyclist Kyrylo Tsarenko has accepted a 12-month sanction for three whereabouts failures
The International Testing Agency (ITA), leading an independent anti-doping program on behalf of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), reports that Ukrainian cyclist Kyrylo Tsarenko has accepted a 12-month period of ineligibility for an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV).
The ITA reports that cyclist Kyrylo Tsarenko has agreed¹ to the consequences for his ADRV under Article 2.4 of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules (UCI ADR)².
Following three instances of late submission of whereabouts filings, which resulted in three filing failures within a 12-month period, the ITA and Kyrylo Tsarenko have reached an agreement on consequences in relation to the ADRV.
The Rider did not challenge the ADRV and agreed with the consequences proposed by the ITA on behalf of the UCI, namely a one-year period of ineligibility³ and disqualification of results. Accordingly, the case was resolved via an agreement on consequences.
Considering that the rider was serving a provisional suspension, which he accepted on a voluntary basis pending the proceedings, the rider’s period of ineligibility ended on 30 June 2026. All the rider’s competitive results obtained from 1 July 2025 until 3 December 2025 are disqualified, including forfeiture of medals, points and prizes.
No party with a right of appeal has challenged the decision before the Appeals Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The case is therefore final.
The ITA will not comment further on this case.
