Cookson is reported to be accepting CHF340k , as he attempts to create an environment where UCI will be respected !
sniper said:plus 1 to cookson for this move, especially for providing long overdue transparency, although he couldve won me over completely had he gone down to say 200k.
Netserk said:lol. He is still getting paid more than the Danish prime minister...
Upon stepping down as Prime Minister Gordon Brown nobly took a pay cut for Cameron, with PM pay going from £194,000 to £150,000.Having set up his pre election pledge to cut ministerial salaries by 5% Cameron was then forced to take his own salary down to a humble £142,000.
thehog said:Obama is on 400USD. So McQuaid was earning more than the leader of the free world.
But Cookson is earning more the David Cameron. About 100k GBP more.
We all know president of cycling is much harder to do than running a entire country
Edit: I think income tax is around 20-25% in Switzerland. So he's doin' ok.
