On Monday, the UCI did something very unusual. They issued a press release on the issue of ketones, finally weighing in on the supplement that has been causing consternation and conversation in cycling for at least five years, once touted as a performance 'wonder drink' and now slightly more doubted.
As the sport's governing body, which literally writes the rules about everything to do with cycling, it's not unusual for the UCI to weigh in on what riders and teams are allowed to do. But what was unusual about Monday's statement was the content of it.
