 Unannounced out-of-competition tests for 100 % of riders
 100 % of riders will be subject to unannounced out-of-competition tests.
 Out-of-competition tests will be targeted to eliminate cheats.
 Riders not subject to such tests in their own countries will be particularly targeted.
 Blood tests for 100 % of riders
 100 % of riders will be subject to blood tests before the Major Tours.
 100 % of teams will undergo pre-race blood tests at least four times per year.
 Blood tests will be targeted to eliminate cheats.
 Unannounced (no-notice) tests will be organised during training sessions.
 Creation of an individual profile for 100 % of riders
 A haematological profile (blood) will be created for 100 % of riders.
 A steroid profile (urine) will be created for selected riders.
 An international database will be set up, in cooperation with the World Anti-Doping Agency and national anti-doping agencies.
 Development of new tests in cooperation with 100 % of riders
 100 % of riders will take part in an anti-doping research programme.
 Each year, the most relevant research will be selected for rider’s participation.
 Agreement to provide DN A by 100 % of riders
 100 % of riders will commit to provide a sample of their DNA if necessary, in the respect of laws and ethical rules.
 Samples will be used for identification purposes in the event of the discovery of suspect matter (organic matter or doping substances).
 Clean riders will then be able to demonstrate their commitment against doping.
 The same code of conduct for 100 % of teams
 100 % of riders will commit to a standard code of conduct.
 100 % of riders will be subject to the code.

Hmmm, sounds like 100% of the riders can expect to be tested about once per day. Oh, and they get to provide a dna sample. To me that makes the more sense than any other change they could have made.

You forgot rule 312.3.B:

"There will be zero oversight of lab testing. Any attempts to monitor validity of lab testing procedures will result in immeadiate suspension. Following testing machine manuals will also result in loss of testing accreditation, as will storage of manuals at testing facility."

I thought you were going to say summary execution by firing squad of the entire UCI pro peloton.

They must be getting soft.
