Comments on: What do we do about the UCI and its dirty dealings? http://www.cyclismas.com/biscuits/what-do-we-do-about-the-uci-and-its-dirty-dealings/ a fresh take on cycling news and commentary Fri, 29 May 2015 20:10:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: fmk http://www.cyclismas.com/biscuits/what-do-we-do-about-the-uci-and-its-dirty-dealings/#comment-192 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:36:29 +0000 http://cyclismas.com/?p=3392#comment-192 “Most governing bodies of sport involve themselves only in the administration of international competition:”

Most of cycling is international. It involves participants governed by multiple national federations competing against one and other. On that basis, I’m not sure I have a problem with the UCI playng a role in setting and policing an international calendar. The manner in which they carry out that task is more than open to question, but the fact that the task falls under their remit is not, I think, contentious.

Those that are on the UCI Management Committee are in collaboration, or apathetic to what is being choreographed ultimately by Mr. Verbruggen. The point of making the references made are two-fold: 1)Those who are verbally “challenging” the UCI should follow through with simple actions. They do have the ability. Why do they choose not to? Because, as you alluded to above, they still derive benefits from the activities of Verbruggen inacted by McQuaid. 2)The references I made were to the USADA, which is a separate entity from US Cycling. I won’t go into my thoughts on the US Cycling Federation.

Hein and Pat are practicing despots. It’s working great for them.

As for USA Cycling actually doing any doping enforcement, more despots (Weisel) with very close associations with Pat and Hein. This link gives you a general idea of the self-dealing: http://www.petitiononline.com/usacref/petition.html
