A good challenge, he needs plenty of support. His record at BC is excellent, taling the president's job of an organisation that was dying on it's feet and moving to where it is today. He's a decent man and fair minded, so here's hoping that he will get a fair shot. Notice PM has said he's OK with a "clean" campaign. We shall see.
A UCI with Brian Cookson at the helm has simply got to be a better alternative than the existing management. Hopefully he can shift Verbruggen and his influenec out of the way too. From reports it sounds like the IOC like Cookson, and they can probably help him a lot in getting the countries to line their votes up for him.

Look them up on google, PMcQ is there and has been a member since 2010. HV is an "honorary" member. So you really could make it up!
Mind, Sepp Blatter is in there as well, and there is a list of former members. The numbers expelled for corruption (at least gettig caught at it) are most revealing.
It's getting a bit confusing this. Should we keep this thread or ask to merge it with this one

And change the tilte to one which is more Phat like?

I stand corrected. One would assume that having been barred from taking apart in the Montreal Olympics for sanction busting would disqualify you from becoming an IOC member!

Seemingly not, all has been clearly been forgiven.
Moral, when a gravy train stops at the station, step aboard and head for first class!

Pat talks of a clean competition, but I bet his "dark forces" are already hard at work digging dirt and getting ready for an epic slagging session.....
...by clean, Fat Pat means that he's hoping that Cookson won't bring up the dirt and dodgy deals in his closet.

Yeah but you know what they say...no good deed goes unpunished. I fully expect Fat Pat to go negative once (and if) it becomes clear he's going to lose. I also expect a lot of dodgy back room deals will be done by Pat and his cronies to secure votes, much like the other bastions of sporting honesty, the IOC and FIFA.

So he's claiming Cookson is a stalking horse for Walkiewicz. He's a real piece of work. It's not going to be easy to prise his paws off the UCI.

He doesn't waste time when he's threatened does he ? Funny how many rumours and accusations he's prepared to put out there, yet the Lance Armstrong ones seemed to pass by him and the UCI completely...

Of course, if the EGM in Ireland fails to endorse Phat, it may not be a contest at all. The Swiss Federation could be bound by that decision as well. Plus, it's no longer clear the Swiss will endorse him anyway.
