Jayco and McQuaid's Excellent Vacation

[BroDeal]

Not sure if this has been mentioned in The Clinic before, but it looks like it is business as usual at the UCI. I guess vacations funded by team sponsors is a little more subtle than brown paper bags full of cash. Un-freakin-believable.

After the 2010 Worlds finished, UCI President Pat McQuaid stayed on to enjoy a vacation in Australia... allegedly funded by none other than Jayco. I'm struggling to believe this, it would be beyond idiocy to accept a big gift from a financial backer. Mind you, this is pro cycling...

One has to wonder how common it is for McQuaid's travel to be paid for by those he is governing.

That story is a whole lot of rumours and innuendo. This is not a clinic threadanyway.

'All of it' doesn't require much wondering.

Where's cycling's financial version of WADA? This is literally getting pathetic...

Come on, Patty. Don't make me sick of cycling again...

Well duh, it's a blog.

The UCI have a job to do regarding Pegasus they need to be certain that riders will be paid properly and all accounts met with satisfaction so they need to be warey after the issue with Astana last year and other teams that have folded .

I dont think the UCI would wreck an team or sponsor proposal ounce they are happy with the accounting . they have a job to protect the riders and team workers pay.

Pegasus have a vision and will probably get there eventualy but not yet.

As for Jaco we are talking of the Institute of sport not a big pro team.

I have seen how John Sanders works his team and they win on very hard work and good management nothing else
I had a Jaco Caravan and the wheel fell off but I sold it on EBAY..

You say two entirely contradictory things, as the clinic has nothing but threads full of a whole lot of rumours and innuendo.

Besides, if Cancellara can be accused of 'motorized doping', why don't we just call what McQuaid is doing 'political doping'? It belongs in the clinic.

Following in the footsteps of the great Hein;


In July 2008, a BBC investigation found documents indicating that over three million dollars were paid by Japanese race organizers as reimbursements for UCI expenses during Verbruggen's tenure as president, including five flights to the Netherlands for Verbruggen personally in 1999.[7] The investigation cited sources within the UCI who confirmed that the repayments were "explicitly a payback for getting keirin into the Games". Verbruggen denied any wrongdoing, and the UCI ignored BBC requests for clarification.

Not everything McQauck does needs to go into the clinic immediately

Just goes to show you. Knowing and the right people and smoking the right poles is going to get you somewhere.

Before everyone starts making big comments about Chris White they should start to understand the scene behind the scene.

Relevant part of my post:

Not sure if this has been mentioned in The Clinic before...

I don't really give a damn about Pegasus being carted off to the glue factory. The purpose of my post in The Clinic was to discuss the implications of the head of the UCI accepting payments in the form of vacations while he is heading the governing body of the sport that has the responsibilty of enforcing doping regulations. If team sponsors in on some podunk island on the ass end of the world are giving him handouts, it makes you wonder what he is getting from team sponsors in Europe.

We already know that the UCI has accepted bribes from Armstrong. This is further evidence that this is a pattern that continues to this day. We might as well add Armstrong in 2009 giving a bike to McQuaid's brother, who promptly auctioned it off and pocketed the money.

This guy simple cannot be trusted to oversee cycling's anti-doping effort.

I would say there are some threads that don't consist of rumour and innuendo

That's what I heard.

 

[skidmark]

That's what I heard.

do ACF's statements seem like a bit of a cover-up to you? I think he's toeing the same old line of Omerta, 'blah blah blah not all clinic posts are all about innuendo, etc'... seems suspicious to me. Plus there's that connection with Dr. Maserati in his past, I've heard about some PM exchanges between them...

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

You would think that on a cycling news website stories like this ought to be picked up, but no.

The funny thing is - when was the last time an article critical of the UCI or McQuaid ever appeared on the CN website? It seems that whenever there is a drunken McQuaid rant then CN is there to willingly reproduce his slurrings in hushed reverential tones.

Apparently, according to CN it was Geox's fault for not understanding the UCI's Byzantine rankings system, not the UCI's fault for producing a ranking system that no one could understand.

Given all the question marks about corruption in the UCI and the scandals that are emerging you'd think that one of the main english language cycling websites would be asking questions but only deathly silence.

It's a shame that the journalists on this site are so gutless and so fearful of losing those 'exclusive' Pat interviews.

The only thread in the Clinic you think doesn't consist of rumour and innuendo is the one that said that since lots of big names can be implicitly attached to doping, Cuddles should be called the best rider of the generation.

I am sure a simple process can be put in place like any other business.
Do you have pro riders? What are their license numbers and where are the signed contracts?
Where are your financials? Banks and sponsor letters. We don't care how much as long as they meet the minimums.
Do you have staff licenses and signed contracts for directors,coaches and mechanics?
Are any of your riders on a watch list?
How many UCI points do you bring to the table?
Have you had a license before?
If there is a new team they should have to show that they are for real..and paying somebody..even McWonk to take a look at the operation is not such a stretch. Matt White showing them a wrapped car and some Scott bikes apparently was not enough.

OK, so I was not the only one who'd noticed photos of a vehicle wrap with pretty much every article written about these guys.

The whole thing reeks of John Wordin and Mercury.

That would be Chris White, would it not?

I work for jayco... well sort of.

They have a lot of money, good that they pump some of it into cycling.
Honestly, I'd love to see them be a main sponsor of an Australian PT team, if it ever does happen.

 

[craig1985]

Jayco do a lot for Australian sport, not just cycling.
