Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

The UCI have three main income streams;

1. Affiliation and licensing fees from national federations
   
2. TV rights to UCI operated events (mainly the World Championships)
   
3. Sponsorship from commercial companies, mainly to get exposure at 2.
   
   

As I understand it, the bulk of the money comes from the TV rights. As usual, inrng has an informative post on this;

But my point in this discussion, is that they are not a wealthy organisation so supporting greedy, ignorant wankers like Skins is going to affect what they spend their limited budget on.

I'm all for more transparency and accountability at the UCI, but no-one seems to be able to come up with credible candidates to replace McQuaid so I'm unsure what regime change will achieve.
