Any updates on Cookson? Is the T&R ready to be rolled out and the independent doping body?

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.

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.

Cookson is *hot* on improving those broadcasting production values!

Unfortunately, the accumulation of "stuff" continues. Since this is cycling, that "stuff" will leak.

Kelly and Roche are now gone.

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.

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.

WTF!? :eek:

...now Ireland has no influence in world cycling,” he added.

You're on the board, committee, whatever to influence world cycling for your nation?

Seems legit.

No. Seems corrupt.

A UCI source?

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.

Don't worry when everyone who matters asked for their moment of the year no one mentioned Froome.

With the exception of Cookson.

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.

It will be the least surprising, most strategic, revelation since the Doprah special.

My fear is cycling fans who follow this sort of thing will wag their collective fingers at Verbruggen and McQuaid and nothing will change. We're still revisiting Festina-like scandals every few years.

Sochi has to be over and done. Maybe we'll see some non-startling revelations sometime October/November.
 
(1) Pro Cycling will always be a small closed little world where personal relationships mean everything.
(2) Promoters looking to profit will always dominate the UCI and there will always be a good old boy's network.
(3) Professional cyclists are always going to dope. It's just what they do.
(4) Dope testing will always trail the innovations of dopers.

If you like doping scandals, pro cycling will continue to be the gift that keeps on giving.
 
good or bad................happy or........

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.

No Armstrong.

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.
