    Look at all the different cycling discipline WCs that UAE (the state) is hosting for the UCI now and over the next few years. I'm sure the UCI gets payed really well for the right to host them and you can hide some other payments in there pretty easy...

    The fact that they are actually going after monoxide rebreathers/looking for them during controls?
