Kimmage seeks criminal investigation into Vebruggen/McQuaid - Mod Warning Post #1

Fr D Maugire

The UCI have been unable to even track down Landis so were unable to even send him a summons to court.

Gotta smile at the
"forbids Floyd Landis to state that the Union Cycliste Internationale, Patrick (Pat) McQuaid and/or Henricus (Hein) Verbruggen .. are terrorists"

On a completely unrelated note, I shall be speaking to my lawyers in the morning.

Actually, I just remembered, you cannot be prosecuted for defaming the dead...

Someone should make a documentary of this epic saga when it's done. It'd be a great piece of television if done in the right light/angle.

Yes, it's called the UCI treasury, and it's part-funded by the members of Cycling Ireland.

There is a serious point here though, if there are majority of members of Cycling Ireland not happy with McQuaids performace, can CI not register an official complaint ? Up the members !

Of course the complaint would need to be very specific, which is perhaps where problems might arise formulating or getting majority backing.

Clubs have until 5pm tomorrow to get resolutions to CI in time for this year's AGM.

Of course, it's possible that a club has already submitted one (or has one lined up to go in)

Do you know if it possible to submit one as an individual or must it be via an affiliated club?

Pat Kenny discussed it with Shane Stokes on his radio show this morning. Interesting piece. I'm sure you can find it on the RTE player.

Bizarre wording in that court ruling alright!!

As I understand it only affiliated clubs can pre-submit resolutions. That in itself creates a logistical issue, as it would presumably need the support of the Club's committee, and the committee may also wish to canvas the opinion of it's own members before submitting a resolution like this (I guess that depends on the club's own constitution). I think, realistically, unless a club has already formulated a resolution to be submitted, there's little chance of getting something in before tromorrow's deadline

Pat Kenny discussed, his words, "the most bizare court declaration from a court of law I've ever seen" with Shane Stokes this morning. It doesn't seem to be available as a stand alone podcast but starts just after 49 minutes on todays playback here.

I had to laugh when Pat read through the declaration, the declaration reads like something from Monty Python.

Presumably the Swiss courts only have jurisdiction in Switzerland. If Landis wants to stand in the French zone of Geneva Airport and shout "McQuaid is a corrupt terrorist" across the concourse, is there anything actually stopping him?

And if not, how can they stop him from posting this on a website?

And if they can't, what the blue fcuk is the point of this lawsuit?

I was thinking that myself, there's not a lot they can do outside Switzerland, surely he can continue to call them anything he wants.

Does anyone know when the start date for Kimmage vs. McBruggen is?

I'm seriously thinking about setting up a facebook event page and see if we can rustle up some support for Kimmage outside the courthouse. Maybe do a critical mass cycle around the streets and stuff! This could realistically become the final epic battle in the war that anti-doping advocates have waged on the UCI. For sure, reading Rough Ride as a teenager was a major turning point for me, and i'd love to be there to shout support at Kimmage as he takes on these muppets!

If nothing else, its a chance to go to Switzerland for a couple days and do some cycling...

No its McBruggen-UCI. Sounds like a cycling team that way!

Think its set for December 12th if memory serves.

This is the line at the bottom of the court statement that really caught my eye:

IX. rejects any and all further findings.

Interesting how that was buried in amongst all the other noise isn't it?
