UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS  If in the course of determining whether an Athlete has an Eligible Impairment the UCI  becomes aware that the Athlete has a Health Condition, and believes that the impact of  that Health Condition may be that it is unsafe for that Athlete to compete or there is a  risk to the health of the Athlete (or other Athletes) if that Athlete competes, it may  designate the Athlete as Classification Not Completed (CNC) in accordance with article  16.4.011 of these Classification Rules. In such instances the UCI will explain the basis  of its designation to the relevant NF and/or NPC. The NF/NPC must supply the UCI with Diagnostic Information on behalf of each athlete  that must be provided as follows: a) The relevant NF/NPC must submit a Medical Diagnostics Form (MDF) to the UCI,  at least four (4) weeks in advance of the competition in which the Athlete is to be  classified; b) the Medical Diagnostic Form (MDF) must be completed in English and dated and  signed by a certified health care professional;  c) the Medical Diagnostic Form (MDF) must be submitted with supportive  Diagnostic Information.  The UCI may require the NF/NPC to re-submit the Medical Diagnostic Form on behalf of  an athlete (with necessary supportive Diagnostic Information) if the UCI at its sole  discretion considers the Medical Diagnostic Form and/or the Diagnostic Information to  be incomplete or inconsistent.  The UCI may consider the Diagnostic Information itself, and/or may appoint an Eligibility  Assessment Committee to do so. The process by which Diagnostic Information is reviewed is as follows:  a) The UCI will notify the relevant NF or NPC that Diagnostic Information must be  provided on behalf of the Athlete. The UCI will explain what Diagnostic  Information is required, and the purposes for which it is required.  b) The UCI will set timelines to submit the requested Diagnostic Information.  c) The UCI will appoint an Eligibility Assessment Committee. The Eligibility  Assessment Committee must, if practicable, be comprised of the Head of  Classification and at least two other experts with appropriate medical  qualifications. All members of the Eligibility Assessment Committee are bound by  a confidentiality clause.  d) Wherever possible all references to the Athlete and the source(s) of the  Diagnostic Information should be withheld from the Eligibility Assessment  Committee. The Eligibility Assessment Committee will review the Diagnostic  Information and decide whether such information establishes the existence of an  Eligible Impairment. e) If the Eligibility Assessment Committee concludes that the Athlete has an Eligible  Impairment the Athlete will be permitted to complete Athlete Evaluation with a  Classification Panel.  f)  If the Eligibility Assessment Committee is not satisfied that the Athlete has an  Eligible Impairment the UCI will provide a decision to this effect in writing to the  relevant NF or NPC. The NF or NPC will be given an opportunity to comment on  the decision and may provide further Diagnostic Information to the Eligibility  Assessment Committee for review. If the decision is subsequently revised, the  UCI will inform the NF or NPC.  g) If the decision remains unchanged, the UCI will issue a final decision letter to the  NF or NPC.
