Dear Gregor, I strongly suggest you pull your head out from deep in your ass and take a look around.Gregor T. said:Dear Fausto/Eddie
Why do you continue to rant about stuff that is from 2 and 3 years old. I've checked out your Website, and you even harass CNN journalists about 9/11. Get over it and give it a rest! Yes it's Mid-March and I strongly urge you seek professional help!
Good Luck.

The Finance Director at the CCA quit last month. He was only hired about two years ago.
The Road Nationals date was not protected by the CCA for this year.
The road nationals were almost cancelled last month, not two or three years ago. They were almost cancelled in 2002, though, you're right there. They had to be moved from Hamilton to London, ON because Hamilton 2003, the worlds organizing committee, was so screwed up.
The lack of sponsorship is a current problem.
The lack of prize money is a current problem.
The lack of new events is a current problem.
The new Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer of the CCA, Lorraine Lafrenière who has zero cycling background and zero competition background in any sport, was hired last November, not two or three years ago. The CCA has have five or six Executive Directors in the last three or four years, what does that tell you? It says they are in turmoil.
All these problems are happening here and now, not in the past.
As for good results for individual riders, there have always been outstanding cyclists in Canada. They win DESPITE the failures and lack of support from the CCA, not because of it. Any top rider in Canada will tell you that. Lori Ann Meunzer stated it very clearly, as have numerous other riders. In fact most Canadian riders have to leave to Canada to get the racing and support they need.
Deny it all you want, the Canadian Cycling Association is very broken. It's result have been dismal. The people running it do not know anything about the sport. Nothing.
What is happening with the Canadian Cycling Association in Ottawa is a disgrace.
You can continue to delude yourselves that everything is fine, you are probably so used to wallowing in the **** that is Canadian cycling these days, you do not know what things should be like. Certainly the people in charge of the sport like Lorraine Lafrenière and Kim Sebrango have no idea what happened in the past in cycling in Canada, they don’t know anything about the sport. They have no perspective or frame of reference. Take a quick look at the US. Canadian racing used to be as good and maybe better than what you would find in the US. US riders used to come here to race all the time. Is that the case now? No way.
PS you're right abot one thing, we do need the help of professionals in the sport of cycling in Canada, not the rank amateurs, the incompetents, we have now who are learning on the job.

If this is not news Rob, what is?
