New Era in US cycling?

Someone retweeted a strange sarcastic Uniballer's remark (see his twitter) "...going to be interesting", so I checked the VN article... and got surprised we don't have a thread for this topic.

Dear US insiders, is this new US Cycling guy (Bouchard-Hall) what we expected Cookson to be?

He said indeed:

“There cannot be any people [at USA Cycling] working with athletes who have a doping past. Full stop. There will be no coaches [at USA Cycling] working with our athletes or directly with athletes who have a doping past. Full stop.”

No wonder Pharmstrong got interested.

Imagine Spain worlds team without Piti .

Wiesel still runs the federation through USACDF. It seems like this is another setup for more damaging stuff to come out about USA Cycling protecting dopers at the Board/USACDF level. All of which will be no surprise and ancient news to the Clinic.

How long will this last? Will anything actually get cleaned up? I have no idea. I'm not hopeful. Thom is in complete control.

The last guy got fired for trying to operate a more transparent organization. (Gerard Bisceglia) http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/bisceglia-fires-back-at-usa-cycling-and-ochowicz/ It's only gotten worse.

FYI: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=19846&start=120

Also worth noting Cookson was on the UCI's management committee for so long prior to his leadership role that he was very much an insider.
