This opens up again the question of how to treat in the CQ database the birthdates of riders from certain African countries where no birth registers were kept, or where these registers were destroyed during ethnic and civil wars.
When a rider without an official date of birth needs a license with an UCI code, the problem is solved by taking his (probable) year of birth followed by either 0101 or 1231.
A few years ago the 0101 and 1231 additions of riders from Burkina Faso were deleted from the codes in the CQ database.
Only the year of birth was kept.
This was for instance the case with Salfo BIKIENGA for whom you now added the 1231 back again.
The others were:
0101 removed from

However, this idea has not been followed elsewhere in the data base.
Of the twenty four riders from Rwanda, eight are shown with a 01/01 birthdate:
12926;NGENDANAYO Daniel;RWA19820101
12928;HABIYAMBERE Nicodem;RWA19870101
16536;NSHIMIYIMANA Innocent;RWA19840101
19478;BIZIYAREMYE Joseph;RWA19880101
20234;RUKUNDO Hassan;RWA19900101
20787;NDAYISENGA Valens;RWA19940101
21078;KAREGEYA Jérémie;RWA19930101
23144;UWIZEYIMANA Jean Claude;RWA19940101
Of the eleven riders from Mali, five have a 31/12 birthdate:
20850;DIARRA Souleymane;MLI19911231
19384;KONE Kotiki;MLI19891231
19383;MARIKO Zoumana;MLI19901231
22237;SANGARE Diakaridia;MLI19861231
20859;SANOGO Tidiani;MLI19871231
Also in Uganda and Lesotho are a few riders with 01/01 birthdates:
20559;KIVUMBI John Bosco;UGA19900101
21354;KHANTSI Teboho;LES19910101
21355;KHOARAHLA Sechaba;LES19910101
In order to have a consistent approach, the database should either follow the UCI codes, and include all the (incorrect) 0101 and 1231 additions, or give the year of birth only, avoiding a false impression of accuracy.
