Madiot obliterated Cookson on French TV. Called him a liar, said that the WT reform is complete *** and nonsense, and that his results at UCI presidency were pretty much zero.

Re:
UCI are getting desperate. The holding of WC in Doha is just crazy. Speaks of huge amounts of money changing hands.
High temperatures, high humidity and PED misuse! I will be surprised if an athlete doesn't die. I hope this is not the case.......

Re:
Cookson could've changed it. Heck anything is possible it seems in the UCI. They'll believe some riders can have grass allergies to grass that isn't even in the same country as the race!

More to the point Cookson was on the management committee when the decision was made.

Brian Cookson’s response over cycling crisis is too little, too late

Re: Re:
well, maybe this is their vision of the future of cycling: no fans... next time they may try "no journalists" policy (or only well selected parrots)... no inconvenient questions, no curious eyes (btw. all that for safety reasons, obviously)

Re: Re:
In-person viewers are not important. Broadcast rights are very important!
The country has a sordid human rights record. Yuck. I guess Verbruggen and the management committee got paid okay!

Re: Re:
Awww C'mon Benotti69! This is 2016!!
Fans is all Ethernet-based now. Attendance is over rated! How many viewers tune in? How much interest on social media? How much money will a host put up?

Re: Re:
so... shall we expect deserted Ventoux/Mortirolo/Angliru - fans banned, riders safety first... no chicken run, no "dopers" shoutings/writings, no urine bags, so that "leaned out" zero-to-hero champions can do their job
or why not to move it directly to zwift? you can even participate, how fan-friendly!

I'm afraid in the case of Cookson, McQuaid.

Right Brian, what have you got to say about this story then. It would have been easy to dismiss it if Varjas didn't have the Lemonds in tow. If this is genuinely going on then pro cycling is just a complete *** show altogether.

Re:
Scanning hundreds of bikes with completely ineffective technology
Backtracking on promise of equal wages for women because 'teams would go under' (try applying this logic to business)
Spreading events across the world that the world couldn't give a sh*t about to chase a few bucks doesn't grow the sport, it simply makes it a laughing stock
Committed to dealing with challenges honestly and transparently by doing so as dishonestly, opaquely and tardily as possible
The list of bullsh*t goes on
The man is utterly delusional and a nasty piece of work to boot - very snide and passive/aggressive is the supposedly genial and mild mannered Mr Cookson

Re:
The paid interns and re-named Armstrong fans are already back on the "bitter Lemond" bandwagon...ontheroad said:
About three years ago I made a post saying that if it weren't for the progress Cookson was promising in respect of women's cycling, I'd probably have preferred McQuaid because it's better the devil you know. Despite the WWT, having now seen the way they're using it to screw over organizers of long-established, prestigious women's stage races, I'm not convinced that even that can defend his run anymore.
