Ethical conduct from those in power?
Ethics - whats that

The people ruling cycling must accept their conduct is subject to challenge. Good leaders open themselves up to scrutiny rather than cocooning themselves behind media representatives, lawyers and press statements. Real leaders, including sports administrators, have the privilege of being able to affect policies, determine strategies and make decisions, great leaders understand that they owe a 'duty of care' to those their actions affect. This is something Cycling Australia and AIS appear to fail to comprehend.
In my opinion Cycling Australia and AIS have been recklessly self regulating themselves. The disinformationists (new word

) have wreaked havoc in the sport and in doing so there are real victims. No matter how many standards and codes are in place, without oversight and forensic scrutiny of the past, there is little benefit, and ethics becomes a policy not an action. Ethical conduct can be written, but it cannot be forced into practice! A quality administrator, board and executive does not need to rely on standards, codes and enforcement. Rather, they innately know that their role includes an implied 'duty of care' - in this case a responsibility to the public and athletes they serve!
So Cycling Australia, administered by the same CEO and chief administrator for 16 years, is being reviewed to '
to ensure the confidence and trust of the Australian public is restored in cycling’s governing body' says a Politician - an organisation which under the reigns of the current administrators lost all credibility and needs government resuscitation. Ergh.
