Really surprised that nobody on Broadsheet is posting about the current disaster that is professional cycling big ass UCI [Union Cycliste Internationale] President, Pat McQuaid (above) taking Paul Kimmage (top) to court for defamation when all this guy is doing is opening up their nasty can of worms [their position on Lance Armstrong, etc] – the online cycling community have actually established a fund to help PK fight UCI/him in court – if you care at all about bringing these scumbags down you can contribute or if you feel strongly that he [PK] should at least be in a position to defend himself (and the truth).
Paul is currently very vulnerable modern day hero. He has been chasing these bastards for years. he deserves more than just the verbal support of anyone who gives a shit about cycling. To hell with being vulnerable, let’s give the man the support and backing he deserves. I know there’s a million issues out there but this is important.

He won.
