Cycling body faces antitrust complaint

The Straits Times

March 05, 2025

The International Cycling Union (UCI) has been hit with an EU antitrust complaint by a Scottish father on behalf of his 18-year-old son and bike trial rider, regarding the governing body's allegedly anti-competitive practices and sanctions against riders taking part in rival events.

BRUSSELS -

The complaint, filed to the European Commission on Feb 21, underscores the growing trend of athletes taking their grievances about governing bodies' power to EU antitrust enforcers on competition grounds.

The complaint alleged that UCI abuses its dominant position and that it breaches EU competition rules by shutting out rivals and that its sanctions are disproportionate, especially for children. It urged the EU watchdog to order UCI to halt its alleged anti-competitive practices.
