Former dopers being kicked out of UCI office....gutted.
Never understood the double standards surrounding these two favourite sons of cycling (and I'm from Ireland)
Wasn't Roche going on about how riders can't unzip their jerseys and all that malarky a while back. It's unsurprising that there is a bit of a clear out with the new regime.
While the recent spate of positive tests is disappointing, there is a part of me that thinks the UCI might be handling these in a more open and transparent manner.
So I compared the 2012 commission members (from the latest available UCI annual report) and the new commission members. Entirely different membership. The only notable change is that both the Road and Professional Commissions now have a woman as a member. The Commissionaires Commission is suspended while it is reviewed. No obvious targeting of the Irish or Pat backers as far as I can tell

If you applied this logic there'd only be Bassons available pretty much.
“Roche has a son doing well at the highest level and would therefore obviously get feedback from him as to what is going on in the peloton on a load of issues – doping, race length, transfers, rest days, race radio – all elements that Roche Snr could then bring forward to the PCC.”
Sean McQuaid needs to learn something about fairness...
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

So no one has retired from cycling in the last 30 year's without a doping ban?
This is the New whiter than white uci, how can they really crack the whip on dopers, with two on board!
Look at the abuse Garmin and Millar get, these two jovial Irish chaps get nothing but love. Double standards.
How can there be a genuine Truth and Reconcilliation process when some still want to hold doping transgressions against people quarter of a century later?

Agree entirely. Especially with Roche's case never firmly being proved and Kelly's being possibly circumstantial and fairly minor in comparison to the 90s/00s excesses.
It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

Let's call on Cookson to published a Reasoned Decision
And lets face it, Pat's not bitter at all.

What exactly are you basing this statement on?
