McQuaid is not really saying anything that anyone can say is a possibility. He is a clown shoes.
He IS a clowns shoes.
I can't believe he's talking smack again so soon. Sunday he was saying that there was no truth to the El Pais story. Monday early Enrico Carpani, UCI spokesman, was able to give Tuttobiciweb the details - that the RFEC had asked for feedback, and they agreed to get it to the Competition Committee by January 24. If nothing else, that date should have sounded familiar to McQuaid - was he totally clueless as to what was going on, or was it just another anti-Spanish lie?

The timetable of the Competition Committee hasn't changed lately, so why this statement about the Tour de France now? Valverde raced for months last Spring while the UCI waited on a CAS decision against him. If the RFEC says Contador is innocent, why wouldn't he be allowed to race while waiting for someone to decide about an appeal and for the process to take place?
And how can he go on and on about the delay in the process with what the UCI is doing to Pellizotti? CONI set him free in October, and while there are teams that want him, he hasn't signed a contract because the UCI might file an appeal. His lawyer had to threaten them with an additional 800,000 Euro lawsuit to try to get them to act tomorrow.
The guy thinks having his face and words in the news every day is good for the sport. Funny, I watch other sports, and can't tell you who's in charge, and they seem to run much more smoothly that the drama fest that is pro cycling.
