The hardest-hitting question posed by Wilcockson during Part 2:
"VN: How do you see the state of mountain biking?"
Bloody brilliant!
Steve Frothingham actually dove-in to the comments section to explain that Velonews agreed to no pre-conditions for the interview (just a list of benign, lame questions). Tools!
I read Steve's comments and while I am sure it is true, it is not going to upset McQuaid's sleeping pattern that VN are looking for an interview and in particular when it is JW.
I will make my "Part III doping what McQuaid says" predictions here:
• God bless Mammy, Daddy & the Biological Passport.
• The Biological Passport is responsible for catching all dopers, Frei, Fuyu Li, AC, masters on the Papp list, Puerto, Festina ...everyone.
• Cycling does more! More testing, more super testing.
• Pat will focus (vaguely)on the one paragraph of the WADA IO report that was (for diplomacy) nice about the UCI.
• Cycling were the first sport to do drug testing, first to do EPO testing, then to have the Biological Passport (JW will ignore the "Why?")
• A vague reference that "scientists" who look at the BP are convinced that majority of riders are clean.
• Pat will say how he is personally for life-bans but he has to abide by WADA rules.
• On Contador - it shows the UCI is tough on dopers, not afraid to go after the big names.
• The US Fed investigation (if mentioned) - UCI not contacted, would be happy to co-operate.
• There will be no sign of a receipt (& probably not mentioned).
• Bribery - am I mean 'donations' are a mistake (but we're keeping the money, thanks).
