And would he end up like Keith Hellawell, Tony Blair's drug Tsar?
*He resigned from his position in July 2002 over the government's reclassification of cannabis from a Class B to a Class C substance. Differences in opinion with the government over strategy towards tackling drugs were common during his tenure. In the position he was paid £106,057 a year.

Co-opted on to the government's side only to discover, as if it wasn't already obvious, that he had no power and no influence. Nothing more than a useful idiot for illiberal politicians.
Or. God forbid, end up making a very nice living from non-jobs the way Louise Casey has?
I hope Boardman is sensible enough to see through a fig-leaf position like cycling-tsar.
