PUTTING SHOULDER PADS ON SCHLECK: HOW THE BUSINESS OF PROFESSIONAL CYCLING COULD BE IMPROVED THROUGH A MORE AMERICAN STRUCTURE Chris Deubert* INTRODUCTION t was announced in August 2010 that three-time Tour de France I winner Alberto Contador, less than a week after his latest victory, was leaving his Kazakhstan-based team, Astana, at the end of the sea- son.1 Contador reportedly rejected a two-year, nearly $13 million deal from Astana,2 instead choosing to sign with Bjarne Riis’ Danish-based Saxo Bank-SunGard team for a reported two years and $20 million.3 The move was particularly notable because Contador was essentially replac- ing rider Andy Schleck, who announced that at the end of the 2010 sea- son he would be leaving Riis’ squad to form a team based in his native Luxembourg.4 Schleck finished second to Contador in both the 2009 and 2010 Tours de France, including a controversial thirty-nine second victo- 5 ry in 2010. -

The Uci Protour: an Enduring Reform Or a “Train Wreck” Waiting to Happen?
2007 2(1) Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Journal 15 THE UCI PROTOUR: AN ENDURING REFORM OR A “TRAIN WRECK” WAITING TO HAPPEN? Lloyd Freeburn In 2005, significant reforms were introduced in professional road cycling by the sport’s governing body, the “UCI”. Those reforms are now threatened by an entrenched dispute between the UCI and the owners of the sports’ most prestigious races. The outcome of the dispute, while uncertain, will be influenced by the legal structures and characters of the bodies involved. These structures and the issues raised by the conflict, including the implications of European Community competition law, are examined. It is argued that despite some defects in its democratic structure, the role of the UCI as the governing body of the sport gives its position greater legitimacy than that of the private owners of cycling races. Introduction In 2005, the “UCI ProTour” began as a unified calendar of cycling road races established by cycling’s governing body, the International Cycling Union. 1 For those familiar with the structure of other sports, this reform may seem modest and unremarkable. Nevertheless, since its inception, the ProTour has been locked in controversy. What may be a “life or death” struggle has ensued between the UCI and the organisers of a number of events, including the sport’s premier race, the “Tour de France”, and the two other “Grand Tour” races, the “Giro d’Italia” and the “Vuelta a Espana”. The Grand Tour organisers are resisting losing control of their events to a wider competition and what they see as a takeover by the ProTour. -

The bar has been set high and the challenge is to continue at this level. On the non-competitive side we continue to see growth in our membership, especially pleasing is the doubling in youth numbers between 2011 and 2012. None of the above success would have been possible without the support of our funding partners, sponsors, athletes, staff and, above all, the voluntary input in its many forms from you the members – my sincere thanks to each and every one of you. Vibrant clubs engaged in all aspects of cycling – racing, leisure, youth, road, off-road etc. -

THE DRIVE TO DECEIVE: LANCE ARMSTRONG’S IMAGE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication and Information Design by S. Andrew Stowe August 2016 Accepted by: Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. James Sanderson Dr. Sean Morey Dr. Daniel E. Wueste ABSTRACT Lance Armstrong is one of the most recognized athletes of all time and one of the most successful cyclists ever. After surviving cancer, going on to win the Tour de France a record seven times, and being the center of a media empire, Armstrong’s reputation was publicly ruined after the United States Anti-Doping Agency released a huge case against him. Armstrong had to recant years of righteous denials and arduous insistence that he did not use performance-enhancing drugs. This doping scandal exposed a well-liked sports hero as a fraud and cheater, making him an exception case study in branding and crisis communication. -

In doing so, it draws on wider questions around the concept of cheating and the specific nature of doping and the measures in place to combat the threat of widespread abuse of performance enhancing substances. The standard of proof required in questions around non-analytical positives is examined and questions around next steps for sport such as a general amnesty are raised. It is also suggested that the code of silence pervading some sports around doping issues may be combatted by provisions such as the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and that this legislation may help to combat some of the mist that surrounds doping control in sport.
