The whole interview is an eye opener on how McQuaid works.
Not a classic case of doping? What part of Adverse Analytical Finding did McQuaids 5 lawyers not explain to him?
It didn't stop the UCI going public with Fuyu Li's positive the day he was notified of his A sample for the same substance.
Not only does this story not tie in with what AC said, why do you need to find an explaination when it is not up to the UCI (or WADA) to adjudicate - that is the responsibility of the RFEC.
Pat sounds tough on dopers - pity he sounded equally as tough when he said the exact same thing 3 years ago. Less talk more action.
No you're not a DS - but you are Presiding over the ProTour - you can blacklist people you don't like from ProTour teams
which is what Rasmussen said.
.... so just why are
"the IOC essential to our development"? Because they give out money and put you up in nice hotels?
I am all for globalization but ASO has a major stake in the Vuelta and RCS are quite close to ASO, so unless you offer them the incentive (the TV rights that the UCI crave) to start races in new markets it is a fight you will lose, again.
