thehog said:No. You didn't read the the details correctly.
I suggest you go back a look again.
thehog said:Any updates on Cookson? Is the T&R ready to be rolled out and the independent doping body?
DirtyWorks said:Bach says "no way dude!" Broadcast production values is an urgent matter for Cookson given Bach's interest in an ioc tv channel.
No time for vrijman to run the commission. Maybe Plant will step in.

he has done a few tweets and stuff, does that count?
thehog said:It appears so. Or Cookson has probably discovered there's a lot "stuff" that maybe doesn't need to see the light of day.
T&R off the table. Independent doping arm? Will never happen. Either set one up and close down half the peloton or let things be.
soon he'll be able to raise his own salary again.DirtyWorks said:Cookson is *hot* on improving those broadcasting production values!
Kelly had been a member of the UCI Road Commission while Roche was on the Professional Cycling Council (PCC). However, it has now emerged that both Irish men have lost those posts for the year ahead.
McQuaid believes their removal from the jobs is “collateral damage” following his own ousting from office.
“I am to some extent not surprised, but at the same time there are few more experienced people in world cycling than Sean and Stephen,” he said.
“It would seem that they are collateral damage to my loss, which is a pity and now Ireland has no influence in world cycling,” he added.

Good news, depending on who they are replaced by
Brian Cookson ordered Kroll operatives to enter the UCI headquarters in Aigle, Switzerland and seize computers the moment he was confirmed as the new leader of the world governing body in Florence on September 27. Cookson was at pains to ensure ‘nothing was destroyed that shouldn’t be destroyed’.
A UCI source has told Sportsmail the information obtained contains potential dynamite. There have been serious allegations, most notably from Lance Armstrong on this website, that the most powerful officials in the sport assisted riders in avoiding detection for banned substances.
...now Ireland has no influence in world cycling,” he added.

Trimmed his beard. Swiveled in his new chair. Shredded excess copies of his pre-election manifesto.

LOL, cleaned his office. Got a new name tag for his desk.

No other Olympic sport has ever done that before.
You Clinic crackpots are always imagining stuff. I need proof.
Per the title of this thread, don't see how fessing-up to some minor controversies will lead to changes.
Brian Cookson (President, Union Cycliste Internationale)
I'll say Chris Froome at the Tour de France—a stunning performance where he was clearly the best rider in both the climbs and the time trials. I know I'm biased as a Brit, but he's also from an African background and has shown that wherever you come from, if you have the talent, ability and dedication, plus the right support, then you can achieve the highest levels.
thehog said:Don't worry when everyone who matters asked for their moment of the year no one mentioned Froome.
With the exception of Cookson.

MarkvW said:If you like doping scandals, pro cycling will continue to be the gift that keeps on giving.
Telegraph Sport has learnt that the International Cycling Union is planning to confirm on Wednesday morning the identities of the three-strong panel and an outline of how the investigation will be conducted.
However, despite expressing a willingness to come clean, Armstrong has indicated that he is seeking in exchange what would amount to a virtual amnesty from his lifetime ban, something the commission has been denied the power to grant.
It will be able to offer what is effectively a free pass to anyone who testifies who has not already been convicted of a doping offence but the best Armstrong can hope for is a reduction in his sentence to eight years, and even that would require him to reveal valuable information not previously divulged by him or others.
