萨甘和UCI达成庭外和解 UCI称萨甘撞人是无意

UCI官网发布声明，彼得•萨甘和博拉车队于2017年12月5日在洛桑体育仲裁院（CAS）举行听证会之前已同意结束有关萨甘在2017年环法被取消比赛资格一事对UCI提前的法律诉讼，双方达成庭外和解。

2017环法期间彼得•萨甘撞倒达科的马克•卡文迪什后，UCI裁判将萨甘驱逐出比赛。事情发生在环法第四赛段的终点冲刺，卡文迪什被撞后因为肩膀骨折退赛。萨甘一开始被判加30秒和扣80分的冲刺积分。然而裁判们看到视频分析后，做出新决定—判萨甘退赛。

事件发生两天后博拉和萨甘上诉CAS，要求CAS即刻推翻环法裁判组的判决，同时恢复萨甘今年环法的参赛资格。博拉车队上诉的理由是裁判当时并没有给萨甘自辩的机会（根据UCI相关规定，在做出任何涉及规则方面的决定之前，必须先问询车手的说法）。当然萨甘最后也没能重返赛场，但是上诉的要求已进入排期。

UCI的声明里写道，“双方同意这次摔车是一个不幸和无意的事故，UCI裁判员在那种情况下用他们最佳的判断做出了这个决定。在此基础上，双方同意不再继续进行法律诉讼，并将精力集中在将来可以采取积极的措施上。”

UCI主席大卫•拉帕蒂恩在声明里说道：“这些程序表明了UCI裁判的工作是多么的重要和艰巨。 从下个赛季开始UCI打算建立“协助委员会”，目的是在UCI主要的世巡赛上协助裁判团，提供特殊视频的专业知识。“

彼得•萨甘在声明里表示很满意这个进程：“过去的就让它烟消云散。重点在于改善我们这项运动的未来。Vittel赛段发生在我身上的事表明UCI裁判工作之艰难，UCI已经认识到有必要以更有效的方式促进他们的工作，对于这点我感到高兴。我很开心我的案件能够带来积极的进展，因为我们这项运动能够做出公平和令人可以理解的决定是很重要的，即使是有时候众人的情绪被激化起来。”

博拉车队经理Ralph Denk在声明里补充：“一直以来我们车队目标都是澄清彼得并不是故意使马克•卡文迪什摔车。这是彼得从第一天起就坚持的立场。没有人希望车手跌倒或受伤，但是发生在Vittel赛段的事件那是一个在任何冲刺过程中都有可能会发生的意外。我作为车队经理的工作是保护我的车手和赞助商。我认为这是我们车队一直在努力做的事。在这里我再次重申我的观点，彼得和博拉都没有犯任何错误。”

UCI官方英语声明全文如下：

In advance of the hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne scheduled for December 5, 2017 the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), Peter Sagan and BORA – hansgrohe have agreed to end the legal dispute and controversy about Sagan’s disqualification from this year’s Tour de France.

Peter Sagan was disqualified following a crash in the sprint at the end of the 4th stage in Vittel.

Immediately following the disqualification Peter Sagan and BORA – hansgrohe had appealed the decision of the race jury with the CAS and, in order to enable Peter Sagan to finish the Tour, requested a temporary suspension of the disqualification. As is well known, this request was denied by CAS; subsequently, however, all parties involved had the opportunity to provide evidence and call witnesses. On 5 December 2017, CAS was scheduled to hear the matter in Lausanne.

Having considered the materials submitted in the CAS proceedings, including video footage that was not available at the time when the race jury had disqualified Peter Sagan, the parties agreed that the crash was an unfortunate and unintentional race incident and that the UCI Commissaires made their decision based on their best judgment in the circumstances. On this basis, the parties agreed not to continue with the legal proceedings and to focus on the positive steps that can be taken in the future instead.

The new President of the UCI, David Lappartient, commented on the UCI’s position as follows: “These proceedings have shown how important and arduous the work of the UCI Commissaires is. As of next season the UCI intends to engage a ‘Support Commissaire’ to assist the Commissaires Panel with special video expertise on the main events of the UCI World Tour.”

The UCI World Champion Peter Sagan is pleased with this development: “The past is already forgotten. It’s all about improving our sport in the future. I welcome the fact that what happened to me in Vittel has showed that the UCI Commissaires’ work is a difficult one and that the UCI has recognised the need to facilitate their work in a more effective way. I am happy that my case will lead to positive developments, because it is important for our sport to make fair and comprehensible decisions, even if emotions are sometimes heated up.”

BORA – hansgrohe team manager Ralph Denk adds: “It has always been our goal to make clear that Peter had not caused Mark Cavendish’s fall. This was Peter’s position from day one. No one wants riders to fall or get hurt but the incident in Vittel was a race accident as can happen in the course of a sprint. My job as a team manager is to protect my riders and sponsors. I think that this is what we, as a team, have done. I am reinforced in my view that neither Peter nor BORA – hansgrohe have made any mistakes.”
