British Cycling Disciplinary Rules Download (word file) | Link: British Cycling's Rules & Constitution
British Cycling is responsible for the management of disciplinary cases within the sport of cycling. This process is outlined in the published Disciplinary Rules which you can download from the link above.
The purpose of these Disciplinary Rules is to provide clear and uniform procedures across all regions and all cycling disciplines for handling disciplinary cases. In particular, they encourage members to accept a predetermined sanction for given acts of misconduct rather than undergoing a full tribunal, but establish an impartial panel of decision makers with clear rules for evidence / standards of proof should a full disciplinary hearing be required.
The Disciplinary Rules are benchmarked against acknowledged best practice of other sports' National Governing Bodies and we are confident that they provide our members with a fair, robust and consistent approach to disciplinary matters.

Past Cases
In the interests of transparency, British Cycling publishes the decisions of all Disciplinary and Appeal Committees unless there are exceptional circumstances in which it is considered inappropriate to publish. Once a case of misconduct has been through the full disciplinary process, details of the case will be published here.
