Cookson: We could see disciplinary action from CIRC findings

UCI president Brian Cookson says he may ask the CIRC to provide extra information to aid any potential disciplinary action arising from its report

UCI president Brian Cookson has not ruled out disciplinary action based on information in the report from the Cycling Independent Reform Commission (CIRC) into doping and corruption in cycling and the UCI, published today.

“I understand that there are witness statements and that was given under condition of confidentiality, however it may be that we can look at some of these contributions with a view to learning some lessons at some point in the future,” Cookson told Cycling Weekly.
