Pat Mcquaid on EuroSport

[mondobongo]

Who else heard this bumbling fool being questioned by David Harmon on Eurosport this morning. Hardly an investigative Journalist Mr Harmon but he got some pretty good points in McQuaid bumbled his way through making the UCI sound like a toothless bureaucratic beast which to some of us was no surprise.

Concerning was his wittering about dealing strongly with dope cheats like they have aways done. We will get them out if they are proved to have taken a performance enhancing product.

David Harmon is UCI's president?

Harmon may as well be UCI president, as he went so easy on McQuaid.
eg. McQuaid's contention that the ProTour is still a functioning competition!
Drugs? What drugs?!
Harmon could have nailed McQuaid to the wall, but refuses to do so because of Eurosports commercial interests being harmed by overzealous questioning of authority figures!!!!!!!!

Oh, I see I thought DH lived in Shropshire.

McQuaid has to stand for re-election fairly soon, do you think he will hold onto the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greg LeMond had some interesting (to me, anyway) stuff to say about dopage following Lance Armstrong's press conference.

It's a bit above my head, but his method of catching cheats is all about power output and VO2 Max...
