Asked what he felt should happen next, Kimmage said that the release of the report in itself is already a very positive step.
?Brian has some work to do now,? he said. ?I give him great credit for delivering on this report and for bringing to light what I have said for a long, long time, and what a couple of others have said.
?This is actually a document of record now. McQuaid?s tenure and Verbruggen?s tenure is now well documented in this report and everyone can read it.
?It is not something written in the Sunday Times or in the Sunday Independent. It is not just an opinion that Paul Kimmage or somebody else had. It is a matter of record now and I think for that alone it has been great.?
Kimmage has been writing about the subject of doping in cycling ever since he retired from cycling in 1989. After years of denials from the governing body, he feels that there is a chance now for some progress to be made.
?Things have to be better now. If you have a governing body that treats doping infractions as an a la carte menu, you have no chance. You are wasting your time doing any tests.
?What is the point in spending on all this money on anti-doping if you are picking and choosing who you are going to test positive? That creates chaos, and that has created the chaos where all this came from.?
?Brian Cookson needed to start with a blank sheet of paper, and that gives him the chance to do that now. He has reacted and addressed the problems within his own organisation and he can now clearly move on from that and address the other recommendations in the report.
?He has laid bare the faults within his own organisation. He needs to address those, act on the recommendations and move on.?
