Brian Cookson at the site in Paris where the UCI was founded (source Brian Cookson Images, Flickr)Landmark report on doping on cycling to be published on Monday, says UCI
World cycling’s governing body, the UCI, says that the report of the Cycling Independent Reform Commission which focuses on the sport’s problems with doping will be published “in the early hours of Monday morning.”
The report, compiled by a three-member panel that has been hearing evidence over the past year, was ordered by Brian Cookson after he replaced Pat McQuaid as UCI president in September 2013.
Last month, Cookson said that the report could provide “a lot of uncomfortable reading,” adding, “I think we should all prepare ourselves for that."
But he also said: “I don't think there's going to be a lot of new revelations, because I think mostly we've got a pretty good idea of what was happening and how widespread the problems were.”
In a statement on its website, the UCI said it would not make any comment on the contents of the report ahead of its publication.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Astana timing is a happy coincidence for the UCI.
I think this *could* be a turning point for the future of the sport. It's important to get all the skeletons out the closet, and then start with a clean slate and very thorough dope testing.
It will be hard reading but hopefully good will come of it to improve the future.
