"There is an ongoing discussion with WADA a💧nd UCI. We call on both parties to reconciliate and find a sol♛ution to this crisis together."
McQuaid has come under serious scrutiny in the aftermath of USADA’s Reasoned Decision document, which resulted in the lifetime ban of Lan🦋ce Armstrong along with his seven Tour de France titles being stripped. Numerous former teammates were also implicated in the case and were subsequently handed suspensions for their involvement.
