Our peerless leader, Pat McQuaid has spoken and my how he speaks.
"The UCI would very much like to denounce the actions of Doctor Eisenmann in
this situation, because it seems to us that she is following a strategy which is
political and commercial," he said.
"From the political point of view, she has her own political ambitions and she
is following a certain strategy in using these events for that purpose. From a
commercial point of view, it is important that you know that the organisation
here has still not paid a substantial sum of money to the UCI in relation to the
contract for this event. It would seem to the UCI that she is trying to use
certain actions here to attempt to find a way out of that commitment."
"It would seem also to us that Ms. Eisenmann is very much using the problems of
doping - which is a very, very complex problem in the sport - to advance her own
personal political strategy. From the point of the view of the UCI, an attitude
such as this is very dangerous and I think that everybody should bear that in
mind."

I can't believe anyone in the his position would make that sort of allegation.
Could you see Tagliabue talking about anybody in a host city like that?
Presidents of organizations make nice and let their lawyers make any needed
allegations.
