With the current petitions in the internet to get rid of Fat Pat,. cyclings corrupt President.
does anyone know the list of delegates from each country who keep him in power ??
ALLEGED CORRUPT President.
There are libel laws. Mr. McQuade has not been found guilty of any such crime nor has he even been charged. To date he has only been accused of corruption. His predecessor has also never been proven to have been corrupt either.
So there is now a list of delegates and a list of possible candidates as they are all eligible. Who would you nominate from the delegates? Sean Petty, John Tolkamp? who you got?
They better be IOC connected too. I'd still vote for Pat over anyone else on the list and my first 2 suggestions are for people I trust as honest. From a marketing and growth of the sport perspective I think Pat is doing a reasonable job for a small sport. I would certainly understand how if you are European you dislike his world plan since it will inevitably reduce your power over the sport. I know mod of the Anglo countries outside Europe don't like Pat either but for reasons I sometimes think are actually not in their interest. Of course we have few actual supporters of the UCI here but as far as I know no one has created an alternate governing body that would do anything much different. The bureaucratic functions are the same. Sanctioning of events. points and ranking, discipline, IOC representative of cycling, anti doping, etc. Most of the staff would be the same since they are already organized and skilled to administer this stuff too.
Why would you even change the name? So lets have your election, Propose your candidate and lets vote. Might not change anything but I would like to see some actual substance to the replace the UCI or remove the president posts.
I think it might have a chance to turn the discussion to something more productive than complaining about the guy in office now.
