There was never any evidence of high level corruption at the UCI. Verbruggen and McQuaid were incompetent and made poor decisions, but neither of them were embezzling money from dopers as far as we know.
There was some collusion on failed tests, but never to the point where UCI management were taking bribes to cover up tests, although the Sysmex machine saga still needs fully explaining.
Seb Coe is no Brian Cookson either, more a slimier version of Pat McQuaid.

is athletics in worse shape today than cycling was at its nadir? It doesn't (yet?) have an a-list star to compare with dear old lance but apart from that it seems pretty terrible.
