For example, this from Velonews
"Piguet’s ruling forbids Landis from “stating that the UCI, McQuaid and/or Verbruggen have concealed cases of doping, received money for doing so, have accepted money from Lance Armstrong to conceal a doping case, have protected certain racing cyclists, concealed cases of doping, have engaged in manipulation, particularly of tests and races, have hesitated and delayed publishing the results of a positive test on Alberto Contador, have accepted bribes, are corrupt, are terrorists, have no regard for the rules, load the dice, are fools, do not have a genuine desire to restore discipline to cycling, are full of shit, are clowns, their words are worthless, are liars, are no different to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, or to make any similar other allegations of that kind.”
Similar stories can be found all over the media sphere, which kind of makes me wonder, isn't the reporting of this case merely magnifying and repeating all the allegations that Landis has made against these dudes? Well, if so, good.
It reminds me of a story from Alf, my old roommate: It was a new school year and the principal of Alf's high school called an all school assembly to address what he considered to be a plague of swearing that was sweeping through the student body. The principal took the podium and after describing how it was disrespectful to use vulgar language,and how stiff penalties would be levied against anyone using swears in the halls or classrooms of the school. he then proceeded to enumerate all of the words which would not be allowed.
"Students of Shorewood High school will not be allowed to say the following: fuck, bitch, shit, fag, pussy, whore, cock smoker...."
And all the kids were like, "Cock smoker? Nobody says cock smoker?" Guess what the most popular swear was for the following year. That's right.
Maybe the UCI is run by a bunch of cock smokers after all.
