LONDON (AP) — British cycling president Brian Cookson is asking for a quick investigation following the latest string of allegations of corruption targeting UCI boss Pat McQuaid.
Cookson, who is challenging McQuaid in an intense contest, says Tuesday he hopes any truth can be revealed before the UCI congress, which will elect the world governing body’s next president on Sept. 27.
A document anonymously leaked to Velonews.com accused McQuaid and former UCI president Hein Verbruggen again of corruption and collusion with Lance Armstrong.
The summary document also alleged the UCI tried to cover up a failed doping test by Spanish rider Alberto Contador in 2010 in exchange for money. Contador tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour.
