Under the anti-doping regulations of the International Cycling Union (UCI) which delegated its anti-doping programme to the ITA in 2021, the UCI must have “serious and specific suspicions that the rider may be involved in doping activities” to conduct tests between 11pm and 6am. The judges responsible for liberty and detention (JLD) “have concurrent jurisdiction to rule on requests for night-time anti-doping tests”, the Paris public prosecutor’s office told AFP.
The core argument of the new paper, from advisers closely aligned with Burnham, is that private markets have been allowed to operate in areas where they are inappropriate. Public provision, managed by the state to meet social need, has been replaced with private ownership, geared to profit. We can all see the damage in energy, water, housing, transport and care. Since the 1980s, the state has progressively surrendered public control of this infrastructure. Britain’s overlapping crises of living costs, weak economic performance and strained public finances all stem from this long‑term privatisation of essential services.
