So back to the question: what was bad about McQuiad again?
Looks like some people just
believe him,
without any
evidence, to be corrupt.
Of course, there is a file out about him that supposedly highlights his inappropriate behavior as head of the UCI.
As far as I'm concerned, his banning of race radios and the handling of that whole mess is enough for me to be glad he's out.
