After Armstrong, UCI cites anti-doping regime gaps
Posted: Oct 12, 2012 5:57 AM by Associated Press
BEIJING (AP) - The president of the International Cycling Union is defending his organization's efforts to catch drug cheats after a damning report on Lance Armstrong's doping practices.
UCI President Pat McQuaid refused to comment on the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's report this week that accused Armstrong of systematic doping. Instead, McQuaid says inadequacies in the anti-doping system are failing to catch drug-using athletes.
McQuaid says the UCI tests athletes repeatedly for doping but the federation can do little if the results are negative. He says the anti-doping system has improved since the 1998-2009 period of Armstrong's career examined in the report.
The UCI has yet to decide whether to ratify USADA's decision to strip Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles.
