Nice try, but you have no idea what I'd think and when I'd think it.
Go find someone else to pick a fight with, I'm not your man.

McQuaid needed the Disciplinary Commission and the Licence Commission to try and do his dirty work on Boonen and Katusha. Cookson fell back on the Licence Commission when he wanted a fight with Astana. The people with 'power' in the Froome case are CADF, LADS, the Disciplinary Commission. All Lappartient has is PR.brownbobby said:this isn't how he should be using his authority.
Authority isn't just about power and force.
Good leaders can be authoritative and influential without always relying on force.
He has the authority to make representation to Team Sky/Froome on behalf of the UCI, if he believes the sport is being damaged.
Of course, I'm not saying he has the 'power' to force anyone to do or act in a way that's any more than rule compliant, but I agree with Froome 100% here, he should be making personal representation direct to the parties involved, rather than just posturing for the media.
If Lap did what you are calling for, you would change your tune. I bet you would be accusing him of meddling in CADF, LADS affairs. This "discussion" has become a joke in all related threads thanks to a handful of posters.
