UCIIC is refusing to cooperate with the UCIIC!!

COMEDY CENTRAL can now be found if you arrive in AIGLE ! During recent days we have been treated to the Comedy that is the " Lance Interview " !

 Resulting from this " Event ", we have had utterances by Heinous ,

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/verbruggen-denies-responsibility-for-cyclings-problems

 he who stated " NEVER ;  Never ,  never ", last year  , in relation to Lance .

 Phat has jumped in  also with saying that the " UCIIC " , his and UCI's creation , cannot change the " Terms of Reference " , that he said THEY created , but i feel sure , he or his colleagues drafted for the Commission as a guide  !

USADA led by Travis Tygart had this to say back in December 2012 , some time after my " Snowjob blog :

“(This) obviously calls into question the UCI’s commitment to a full and thorough investigation and creates grave concern that the UCI has blindfolded and handcuffed this independent commission to ensure a pre-determined outcome“

 WADA , in the form of David Howman , has expressed their requirement , that Lance state UNDER OATH ,

http://playtrue.wada-ama.org/news/wada-encourages-armstrong-to-confess-to-anti-doping-authorities/

 any information he wishes to offer , and also , have stated they cannot co-operate with " UCIIC " ,


 until their " Terms of Reference " are changed , something they wish to do . USADA are in agreement with WADA and require the same conditions to apply before they hear out Lance , or participate with the UCIIC inquiry .

Now we have " UCIIC " tell UCI , they will not do their job , unless they are allowed to change the Original " Terms of Reference "!

This next item is a request by " UCIIC " for witnesses , that do not require an " Amnesty " , to be able to participate , i have replied , but do not expect an invitatation , cycling the " Routes of the Grand Tours and talking to those racing and supporting the racers , is not worth much more than " El Diablo's contribution  :

When i wrote my Blog " Snow Job " , i was highly Critical of the " Terms of Reference " and anticipated that the Three Highly Respectable Panel Members , were unlikely to be able to work with the " T of R " that was hoisted on them . Today they proved my prediction to be correct .

Dick Pound currently a member of IOC , formerly the President of WADA until 2006 & also of  IOC had this opinion  to add to the situation , after seeing reports of Lance's relevations to Oprah  :

As many will know Jaimie Fuller , sued UCI for Millions in October and then in November called a Conference in London . Out of this was created " Change Cycling Now "!  UCIIC then with their  old " T o R " in place , decided to call " CCN " to be witnesses at the inquiry . CCN consulted with USADA & WADA and seeing their decision about cooperating , issued the following statement :

There are a few people like David Walsh , of the Sunday Times and Author of " The Seven Deadly Sins " amongst other master pieces , that have a great sense of Humour . Here is a recent Tweet of his :

David Walsh ‏@DavidWalshST

As interesting as it will be if LA takes down UCI bosses, it will be fascinating if he accuses bosses of Tailwind Sports.#whatdidtheyknow?

Another Blog Master , posing as a " Comedian " , offered these Tweets :

If cycling was ejected from the Olympics they could replace it with "Press Release Tennis" where sports bodies lob statements back and forth

the Inner Ring ‏@inrng

UCI says "if WADA is serious" it should establish Truth & Reconciliation process for doping in all sports, not just call for this in cycling

As @irishpeloton points out the UCI is still unsure if Armstrong was doping. Here's an except of today's press releasepic.twitter.com/31f61AYc
