CYCLING IRELAND WILL not nominate Pat McQuaid for a third term as UCI President, it has been confirmed.
An Emergency General Meeting was held this morning, with McQuaid’s nomination put to vote, and subsequently defeated by 91-74.
The result could potentially ruin McQuaid’s hopes of regaining the Presidency, with his nomination from Switzerland also facing a legal challenge.
McQuaid has come under heavy criticism in recent months for his handling of cycling’s various doping scandals, and in particular, the Lance Armstrong controversy.
In recent days, the Irishman has faced renewed criticism amid his bid to be President for a third term, with Britain’s Brian Cookson emerging as an alternative candidate.
