Cycling-UCI hid Armstrong 麻薬 実験(する), says new 長,指導者 Cookson

PARIS, March 9 (Reuters) - 不名誉d cyclist Lance Armstrong would not have won seven 小旅行する de フラン 肩書を与えるs without receiving favourable 治療 from the International Cycling Union (UCI), the 現在の 長,率いる of the world 治める/統治するing 団体/死体 said on Monday.

A 報告(する)/憶測 by the 独立した・無所属 改革(する) (売買)手数料,委託(する)/委員会/権限 published on Monday said previous UCI 管理/経営 were more 関心d about their own image rather than 取り組むing 麻薬ing as the American 棒 his way to 小旅行する de フラン glory from 1999-2005.

"The style of leadership is pretty much criticised in the 報告(する)/憶測 and led to major errors," Brian Cookson told reporters from the UCI (警察,軍隊などの)本部 in Aigle, Switzerland.

He 追加するd that the UCI was "trying to 支配(する)/統制する and 限界 rather than 除去する (the problem) 完全に and at the time they always put the image and the 商売/仕事 of the sport before 正直さ, transparency and honesty."

The then UCI 管理/経営's shortcomings were first exposed in 2012 when the U.S. Anti-麻薬ing 機関 (USADA) published their 推論する/理由d 決定/判定勝ち(する) after banning Armstrong, who later 認める to cheating, for 麻薬ing.

"UCI 免除されたd Lance Armstrong from 支配するs, failed to 的 実験(する) him にもかかわらず the 疑惑s, and 公然と supported him against 主張s of 麻薬ing," the 報告(する)/憶測 said.

"The 報告(する)/憶測 確認するs that, for more than a 10年間, UCI leaders 扱う/治療するd riders and teams unequally, 許すing some to be above the 支配するs," USADA 大統領,/社長 Travis Tygart said in a 声明.

It helped Armstrong cheat his way to 小旅行する de フラン 勝利s, によれば Cookson.

"明確に, a rider like Lance Armstrong, in 1999, had a 肯定的な 実験(する) for cortisone (during the 小旅行する de フラン) and UCI 補助装置d him in covering that up," the Briton, who was elected in 2013, said.

"That was in my 見解(をとる) an 絶対の 批判的な moment."

After 供給するing 当局 with a backdated Therapeutical Use 控除 (TUE) に引き続いて a 肯定的な 実験(する) for cortisone, Armstrong continued and won the race, which had been labelled the "小旅行する of 再開" one year after the Festina 麻薬ing スキャンダル.

The UCI is now taking the problem "本気で while other sports are not taking it 本気で," Cookson 追加するd.

The UCI boss has a lot on his plate, however, as the CIRC 報告(する)/憶測 showed that 麻薬ing, if いっそう少なく 流布している, is still endemic, with banned doctors still operating.

"These things are very difficult for a 治める/統治するing 団体/死体 (to fight against)," Cookson 認める.

"We'll work closer with 政府s."
