LONDON (AP) — The International Cycling Union has opened discussions with the World Anti-Doping Agency to set up an independent investigation into the cycling body’s handling of past drug scandals.

The UCI was criticized for not doing enough to catch Lance Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after admitting to doping. His admission followed an investigation by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

New UCI President Brian Cookson says the governing body has begun “establishing a high-level dialogue with WADA” on plans for the investigation. Cookson defeated incumbent Pat McQuaid in an election two weeks ago.
