The Uci (Union Cycliste Internationale) is the umbrella organization of all national cycling organizations worldwide. It is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and administers all aspects of cycling sport globally. 157 countries are affiliated with the Uci after seven national federations were added at the 2008 Uci Congress in Rome.
In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Uci suspended athletes from Russia and Belarus from competing at any Union Cycliste Internationale events, and suspended all officials from these countries from officiating at any event sanctioned by the Uci, as well as from attending or participating in any Uci meetings, committees, and forums. In March 2023, the Russian Cycling Federation sent a letter addressing the Uci and urging them to reverse the decision and allow Russian athletes to compete in Uci events. The RCF's statement included claims that the war was actually started by Ukraine and that 'Russia defends peace'. In May 2023, the Union Cycliste Internationale reinstated Russian and Belarusian athletes, shortly after a Russian missile attack forced the cancellation of a cycling event in Ukraine.
