PARIS—All riders taking part in cycling's Pro Tour international circuit will be submitted to at least 15 urine tests and 15 blood tests a season from January next year.
In a statement on Thursday the union of professional cycling teams (IPCT) said about 80 percent of the tests would be out of competition.
It said the tests would be conducted by an independent body in conjunction with the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Cycling Union (UCI).
Doping scandals have beset the sport this year, including the Tour de France.
Winner Alberto Contador was implicated in the Spanish anti-doping investigation Operation Puerto although he was cleared by the UCI. He has denied any involvement in doping.
Denmark's Michael Rasmussen was sacked by his team Rabobank and thrown out of the Tour while leading the race for lying to his team about his training whereabouts.
