UCI holds off on Kimmage pursuit

The UCI and its current and former presidents, Irishman Pat McQuaid and Dutchman Hein Verbruggen have suspended plans to sue Irish journalist Paul Kimmage.

The court date was scheduled for December 12 in Switzerland and centred on Kimmage calling the UCI and McQuaid “corrupt” but yesterday, at a specially convened management committee meeting in Geneva, the sport’s governing body decided to push back the date of the case indefinitely.

On Tuesday, McQuaid remained steadfast in his decision to pursue the former cyclist.
