Vote Pat McQuaid out of Office

[Lucky Luke.]

Pat McQuaid will soon attempt re-election for a 3rd term of office as UCI president.

 

To do this he will solicit nomination from Cycling Ireland -

 

He has already made approaches to Cycling Ireland asking that the federation nominate him to run for the presidency of the world governing body again. It is anticipated that the organisation will nominate him to run.

 

No president of the UCI has ever failed to get his home federation to nominate him for election, meaning any failure on the part of McQuaid in that regard would be very embarrassing and potentially politically damaging.

There is a poll running here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056787543 where the public can vote yay or nay as to whether Pat should continue as UCI president.

 

The VP of Cycling Ireland is a member of the forum and is active on the thread - his handle is Morana http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/member.php?u=29449

 

If you're at all interested in effecting change in cycling, and agree that getting rid of McQuaid is an excellent first step to this end, sign up for the forum and cast your vote. This is one small way us cyclists scratching around in the dirt at the bottom of Africa can try to do something good for our sport at an international level.

 

Takes 5 minutes and I reckon it's worth a try.
