Swiss nod legit, insists McQuaid

UCI President Pat McQuaid has ensured doubters his nomination from the Swiss Cycling federation for a third term as head of the sport’s governing body is legitimate.

The Irishman, speaking on Newstalk yesterday, reiterated that despite not getting an Irish nomination, he is at peace with the nomination from Switzerland, where he has lived since 2005.

“My information is that the nomination is secure,” he replied when quizzed about whether that latter nomination was facing a legal challenge.
