Lovely quote from Prince Nasser during Arab Spring
'“Whoever calls for the fall of the regime, may a wall fall on his head … whether he is an athlete, socialite or politician, whatever he is, he will be held accountable at this time. Today is the judgment day.”
I get that there are lots of unpleasant / corrupt people in cycling, but the attempts by lots of cycling press to try and make equivilance with dopers/ tinkofs of this world with the seriously dark and nasty stuff done by the Bahraini govt. is wilfully ignorant.
This feels like a much worse scandal for the UCI in terms of real moral failure than any of the BS around doping/ recent warning of motor- bike companies
