With this ban in effect, Schumacher will be banned from international competition until February 22, 2011. UCI President Pat McQuaid will make the announcement this afternoon at a press conference on the eve of the Paris-Nice race. It is also expected that the UCI will formally roll out their biological passport anti-doping program, and it is expected that at least one rider may be facing a doping case based on the blood profiles.
