THE head of cycling's governing body has been replaced on a key International Olympic Committee panel as he deals with the fallout from the Lance Armstrong doping scandal.
International Cycling Union President Pat McQuaid said he was too busy to attend all the meetings of the Olympic commission evaluating bids for the 2020 Summer Games. "I have too much going on and I can't afford to be spending two weeks away from the office in March," he said.
It's not the only position McQuaid has relinquished in recent months. He lost his spots on the World Anti-Doping Agency executive committee and foundation board at the end of the year.
McQuaid and former UCI president Hein Verbruggen have come under scrutiny in the wake of the US Anti-Doping Agency report that detailed systematic doping by Armstrong.
The report claimed that Armstrong paid the UCI US$125,000 to cover up a positive test from the 2001 Tour of Switzerland.
