    Really well written piece that echoes how so many cycling fans feel about the state of our sport.

    The voicemail left by verbruggen to vaughters demonstrates he was active at the top of UCI until 2011 and no doubt part of the decision of UCI deciding not to take such as Jaksche up on his willingness to explain all.

    The message has been obvious for years that UCI had to separate the functions of sport promotion from doping, which can never live under the same roof:
    Notice how McQuaid said of Cooksons plans that they were ” half baked” because “WADA rules forbade it” prompting WADA to issue a press release in contradiction, furher demonstrating UCI had not even asked them. Reality is Hein and his protege Pat WANTED doping in a place they could control the information flow. Mcquaids word ” scumbags” says it all.

      MikeB, I think Bassons should have insisted the meeting be private. it’s all more image rehabilitation for LA
