Hi,
Since I, like many others, am rather unhappy with how the UCI conducts itself regarding various issues, especially the doping issue I began to wonder what the process is that leads to the UCI coming up with a rule or something. So I began to research. Or atleast tried to. Thing is, I really didn't find anything. Everything about is extremely clouded and information near impossible to obtain...
My point is, what the heck is this thing? Is it democratic? If so how would I get myself in the position to elect something....or be elected. Lets say if I wanted to become the next UCI president what would I have to do? Or is it owned by some rich dude who just picks these UCI officials as he pleases to? I just read committee this, committee that, its extremely confusing. At no point did I find an explanation how one would be determined to join one of these various committees and what exactly these committes are entitled to do etc pp..!
Can someone explain this to me?! I realize that calling this a labyrinth is probably an euphemism. So I would be perfectly fine if someone could outline the basic framework that describes the relationship between various committees and posts within the UCI aswell as how it connects with the national governing bodies and anti doping agencies, Maybe providing some sources with detailed information would be perfect!
Also I really wonder why so many race organizers and athletes support a federation that is this disconnected from its members and is as transparent as a 3meter thick wolfram wall.
