Friday, September 25, 2009 UCI: McQuaid re-elected by Agence France-Presse at 4:44 PM EST   comments Categories: Pro Cycling   International Cycling Union (UCI) chief Pat McQuaid was re-elected for another four-year mandate Friday following a UCI congress on the fringes of the world road race championships. The 60-year-old Irishman was the only candidate for the post, which he took over from Dutchman Hein Verbruggen in 2005. A former professional racer in the 1970s, McQuaid has also worked as a cycling coach, was president of Ireland's national federation and was also a race organiser. During his tenure McQuaid has worked hard to help globalise the sport, especially in Asia, the Americas and Oceania. The UCI in that time has also broken fresh ground in the fight against doping, introducing the much-heralded biological passport programme for all professional cyclists.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article Related Articles Details of year long, three million Swiss franc investigation into doping, Armstrong and the UCI unveiled by the CIRC Budget of three million Swiss Francs reported for Cycling Independent Reform Commission UCI announces its past will be investigated by new Cycling Independent Reform Commission UCI: Independent Commission announcement to come within a week Video: Brian Cookson says restoring credibility of cycling is most important priority Europcar confirmed in 2014 WorldTour as UCI announces final teams Lotto-Belisol receives confirmation of 2014 WorldTour registration
