Cyclingnews said he also detailed what was going on at Quickstep. I wonder if he was willing to give more detailed info about that.

The bad part is that it will hurt the sport overall. I have mixed feelings. It's like watching your ex drive off a cliff in your new Lexus. __________________ Over 6 million squirrels attempt suicide each day.

Some are watching that from the back seat or are travelling in a trunk.

These cyclists coming clean are just helping anti-cycling people pour gas into the fire.

Yes,McQuaid said he was a remedy and he came close as a disease. I get more cynical every day Lim.

The only time that he will change stance - and his kind will always change stance - is when the tipping point is reached. Right know, Pat and the folk up in the UCI ivory tower, reckon that they have at least 50.1% support from teams/sponsors/fans etc. If that level drops to 49.9%, Pat will change his tune. He tests the water - look how Vino was condemned as the bad boy but others implicated in other scandals are not condemned. Some of us opposed Pat's nomination for the role at national level (he had to get his national federation to nominate him for the UCI election). Some like minded people at national level opposed him - because we knew that his election would change nothing. Don't get me wrong, Pat's a nice guy, affable and good company and he was a superb coach. But he's a gobshite too. __________________ .."But finally the last thing I’ll say to the people who don’t believe in cycling, the cynics and the sceptics. I'm sorry for you.
