The International Cycling Union (UCI) has contacted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to start discussions for an independent investigation into cycling's governing body, new UCI president Brian Cookson said earlier today.

It isn't the Tour de France unless things get a little crazy.

Just when you think the off-season news cycle might slow down, it kicks into overdrive.

Is change in the wind or is it the sweet scent of revenge?

Greg LeMond says the president of the International Cycling Union can't remain in his job while a panel examines possible links between the organization and the doping case involving Lance Armstrong.

A slow process but an achievable goal.

Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond has urged the leaders of cycling's governing body to resign in the wake of the Lance Armstrong doping affair, calling them "the corrupt part of the sport."

Disgraced Tour de France winner Floyd Landis must pay current and former UCI presidents Pat McQuaid and Hein Verbruggen 10,000 Swiss francs ($10,700) each after being found guilty of defamation by a Swiss court.

It was an interesting mix of new gadgets and drama this week.
