He was listed under the olympic movement section in 2011 can't seem to get any results for 2012.sniper said:he's not listed here:

was he ever listed there?
I got over the shock long ago. The bad taste in my mouth, lingers.silverrocket said:I was not aware he ever was part of WADA, and am shocked to find this out. How is (was) this not a conflict of interest?
Even just within the UCI, the two functions to both promote cycling and police cycling are in potential conflict.D-Queued said:I got over the shock long ago. The bad taste in my mouth, lingers.
Now, why would you suggest that this was a conflict of interest? Isn't cycling doing more than any other sport to support doping?

Evidence from Hein's time and from recent years as well shows that it's unfortunately been more than just potential.
I can appreciate that a role within WADA would be in conflict with phat's and his family's cycling promotion and rider management work.
In addition, the general corruption of phat is in conflict with any role he could perform within the WADA structure (but that one is not as open as the other issues).
Well Fahey is one of the worst politicians Australia has ever had. He only got the gig in WADA as a result of his political position at the time it was setup around the Sydney Olympics.sniper said:Goodness me. The integrity of WADA for me is history.
Priceless: “The UCI doesn’t know exactly what has happened.”Race Radio said:Maybe Pat lost it that crazy night in Astana?

Somebody's not telling the whole truth. Phat's CV on the UCI website:“This was the date that Mr. McQuaid’s one-year 2012 term on the Executive Committee ended.”

Take a couple of steps back in order to understand WADA's relationship to sports federations. From top being most powerful, to bottom, least powerful:silverrocket said:I was not aware he ever was part of WADA, and am shocked to find this out. How is (was) this not a conflict of interest?
Do you make this stuff up? John Fahey was confirmed as President of WADA seven years after the Sydney Olympics. He played and coached rugby league in his youth and was a director of the Bradman Foundation since 2001. Former Premier of NSW and lawyer. Give up the rubbish that Fahey wasn't qualified or had no credibility. Did you hear what he said about the Armstrong case?peterst6906 said:Well Fahey is one of the worst politicians Australia has ever had.

He had no previous sporting history or credibility.
Since the culture of an organisation takes its lead from the top, his history should be fairly informing.
A separate issue to Phat, but linked in terms of the whole arrangement of WADA.
Next watch for IOC dissociating itself publicly from Pat & Hein and working behind the scenes for an elegant solution for those 2.DirtyWorks said:IMHO, he's been stuck with the Armstrong doping controversy and they want the controversy out of sight.
LOL, right. Phat could f*€* up a cup of coffee, I hope he did get kicked through the uprights. Phat couldn't manage a Piggly Wiggly effectively.peterst6906 said:Even just within the UCI, the two functions to both promote cycling and police cycling are in potential conflict.

As a Sydneysider you would know Fahey was never elected as Premier and never won an election. He inherited the job from the Deputy Premiership positoon after Greiner was forced to resign due to corruption. So he was No. 2 in a corrupt Govt who then lost Govt at the next election. Jumped from there to Federal Politics post the Olympics and after that went into WADA.biker jk said:Do you make this stuff up?

I haven't played junior rugby league in NSW. There may be others.peterst6906 said:....
In relation to playing and coaching Rugby League, there are close to 25,000 registered coaches in NSW alone and who hasn't played junior rugby league in NSW. ...
Since you're in Canada and not NSW, I would imagine that isn't even relevant to you. But since the post was addressed to a Sydney resident, it was relevant to him/her.D-Queued said:I haven't played junior rugby league in NSW. There may be others.
