Pat McQuaid says anti-doping chief Dick Pound aims to kill sport
International cycling boss Pat McQuaid thinks that world anti-doping chief Dick Pound wants to "kill out sport".
Dick Pound, the head of the World Anti-Doping Agency, had stated that cycling was "in the toilet" after a series of high-profile doping cases during 2006.
"As far as we're concerned he lacks credibility and he's got a knife in our sport," said Pat McQuaid.
"He continues to make statements about cycling. I understand he's leaving next year and the sooner the better," Pat McQuaid added but he has promised to take a hard line against doping.
Pat McQuaid has set up a team of academics and scientists to study the demands of professional cycling and recommend any changes that should be made.
"As chief of Wada, his role is to assist sport in the fight against doping but he doesn't help cycling," added Pat McQuaid commenting on Dick Pound.
"We've given him presentations and he knows that we do more than other sports, yet he continues to try to kill our sport. I can't accept that.," Pat McQuaid said.
