Cameron Meyer SPecial Edition Track handlebars banned?

[gogo419]

I recently heard that the special edition 3t handlebars made for Cameron Meyer have been banned from UCI races? Could someone please confirm this? Also i think it had something to do with creating a level playing field for all riders i heard one commentator say? If this is the case why are the British riders allowed to use their custom bars?

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers

During the Comm Games I remember the commentators saying that his handlebar setup in the Points/Scratch races had been banned.

What was special about it?

Its not been banned as such. The UCI just reminded riders that use of the bars with a normal stem puts the rider in an illegal position similar to the superman position. They advised something like a 4cm shorter stem if riders are going to use the bars.

3T released a statement about it:
