Discovery Channel excluded from ProTour team group
Discovery Channel excluded from ProTour team group (Professional
Cycling Teams (IPCT) group) (http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/11301.0.html ) I am a little confused here, what authority does the IPCT have....?? IPCT is kicking Discovery out, because Basso is involved Operation Puerto. Personally I think the whole Operation Puerto investigation is just another example of guilt by inuendo. |

The IPCT is the TRADES UNION for teams which are allowed travel with Paddy McBoggy's UCI sponsored Pro-Tour Circus The maximum number of members is Twenty since there are only twenty places for teams on the Pro Tour That is it in a nutshell, and IPCT is a business oriented Trades Union under the Chairmanship of Patrick Lefévère, a Belgian national who is manager of the Quick-Step professional Cycling team. They represent a Special Interest droup. If you are confused, leave it at what Davey outlined above and you will not go too far wrong. So Davey, is it a _good_ thing that an industry association has blackballed a worker in that trade on the basis of an accusation by some cop? Ron |

Davey was trying to state facts to help someone sort out the mess He wasn't offering an opinion one way or the other, Ron But if you want Davey's opinon, he thinks that the whole gamut of alphabet soup organizations should be disbanded as political and detrimental to the sport of cycling Politicians can make a mess of truly Gargantuan proportions out of the simplest situation -- Le vent à Dos Davey Crockett [No 4Q to reply] X-Shakespea "MacDuff: What three things does drink especially provoke? Porter: Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance." -- Macbeth, II.3 |
