As I understand it, it's coming.
There is a whole raft of changes being discussed at the moment in line with reforming the calendar for the 2017 season. The media focus so far has been on the calendar changes, with both the Vuelta and the Giro shortened by a week, but there is also changes to the rules on doping, in line with the revised WADA Code, and more technical innovation. Brian Cookson has gone on record as saying that it's ridiculous that cycling has to all intents and purposes frozen technological advances at the highest level of racing at a time where there is huge consumer interest in technology.
Following the rules as laid down is indeed a step up from the regimes of Hein & Pat. But the rules have been the same quite a number of years and will not improve the sport even if the chiefs are not corrupt. I'd like to see some innovation, and I don't mean on-bike cameras and live SRM data in races or a Tour of Azerbaijan or whatever country will cough up enough cash for a race no one wants to see.
