If you make a mistake, own it and move on.

The UCI is asking for rule enforcement, but why now?

It's 2013 and time for harsher punishments.

There were some snafus but overall it was a great event.

The World Anti-Doping Agency called the UCI "deceitful" Tuesday for shutting down its independent doping panel and said it won't participate in an amnesty commission set up by the cycling governing body.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) disbanded what is claimed was an independent commission put together to review any involvement the cycling governing body had in the Lance Armstrong scandal, saying it will go ahead with a "truth and reconciliation commission" instead.

The first public hearing into the Lance Armstrong doping scandal descended into sharp exchanges in London on Friday over the lack of disclosure of documents by the sport's governing body.

UCI Honorary President Hein Verbruggen says the International Cycling Union (UCI) held meetings with riders, including Lance Armstrong, to warn them when suspicious test values showed they were coming close to testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.

The former president and current honorary president of cycling's governing body says there was no conflict of interest when he invested in a brokerage account later linked to Lance Armstrong's team owner.

In these tough times, tough decisions need to be made.
