Verbruggen makes a tit of himself, why leave it all to Fat Pat?

Much of the talk in American news cycles last week was about presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his series of mostly self-inflicted wounds. But he wasn’t the worst off. Cycling’s heads of state, unable to avoid the press at the recent world championships, proved so gaffe-prone there I wouldn’t hand them a set of child safety scissors.

Maybe he’ll quit and go home without contesting the suit, but it won’t be for lack of moral or financial support. Maybe he’ll pick up the lance and run it through the nutsacks of Verbruggen and McQuaid, shriveled and hidden though they may be. Maybe he’ll fight and lose, but do justice to free speech in the process. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll fight and win and buy his first celebratory beer with the $5 you donated.

IMO. Some of those statements and this law suit are revealing the ugliest if human traits, bullying.

 

Found this a good read, and pretty much puts the matter into context. In plain terms that everyone can understand. http://pvcycling.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/rough-read/

By the number of posts you make... I wonder what you do for a living?

 

And dude that 150kg chick you keep bringing up is gonna be fodder in a few months! haha

 

Seriously? This is your actual opinion? And I thought the Nokia Hugger the least credible Hubber!

I see the Kimmage fund is getting quite a bit of support. It's a disgrace that they are suing him.

Yeah, saw that.

Pretty cool.

On a similar tangent,

 

Interesting article by Inner Ring.

 

 

But if you wanted to replace the UCI President how do you do it? What’s the mechanism and who’s involved? People often ask so here’s the explainer.The quick answer is that it’s near impossible. But if you want to know more, read on.

Here's the thing: it is no longer Kimmage who will be on trial in Vevey on Dec 12 but the men who accuse him, Verbruggen and McQuaid.

Dude, goya took that prize a long time ago.

It's an impressive win considering how strong the competition is!

True, and yet goya took the win by a massive margin. Wonder if he's a double poster, cause he only ever posts in Lance related threads.

Well I have Goya on ignore but I can only infer that he continues to defend Lance's honour with the vigour of a Livestrong-branded kevlar codpiece.

That's why I never answered his drivel with a quote: to spare you.

Now here's a journo (spit, sick, scum of the earth) that I would have a pint with...if only for his name...

 

Whether that chance is seized, requires all in the sport to recognise the wrongs committed - me included. But it must also come from up top at the UCI. If not, then those up top must go.

$36 000 - seems like this has given cycling fans a platform.

Yeah, just short of $20.000.00 US Dollars, quite a tidy sum and growing. I think the UCI must be more than a little concerned about this support for Kimmage and the call for a change of the old guard at their headquarters, and if they arent they should be, I haven't found much sympathy for either Pat or Hein in any of the general cycling media.
