What is purpose or job of the UCI?

The more I read about the UCI the more I am convinced that they are absolutely useless and no good for cycling in general. JB

allegedlly it is the world governing body of cycling but in reality it is a front to launder money from cycling into the swiss bank accounts of Verbruggen and McQuaid.

The UCI is the Cycling world representative they are elected board that takes all our membership fees and spends them on overseas trips luxurey hotels and cars to name a few things they do with our money.

Its the word elected that I dont understand WHO elected them or do they elect them selves.

They represent Cycling on the world front but they are suposed to do what the members who elected them to do just like our politicians.
They do what they want to do.
Dose that sound familiar.
It is the reason the masters have setup their own govening body well clear of UCI and running it well.
