About the Barbados proposal:
I think having the incumbent qualify automatically as candidate is terrible. In fact, that's exactly how you create a corrupt system where a leader can stay in charge for 15+ years *coughseppblattercough*
If anything, the UCI should deny a president candidacy forever after one or two terms.
I'd go as far as say: you do one term and then you go. No more re-election, never. And the next president can't be nominated by the same national cycling union. That way you at least somewhat prevent corrupt leaders from maintaining influence.

@Shorts
But you would loose all sense of continuity from the system. Each president would struggle to input long term measures that would bring about the real change that is needed, as the next guy could disagree and remove the updates from the system.
You possibly remove the long term corruption yes, but the instability would be no better. And even then the corruption could very well just move from person to person.
In some ways it's better the devil you know, than the devil you don't.
I would allow the president to run for re-election. But the same rules would apply to them as to all opposition candidates.
By which i mean you HAVE to be nominated by either your home federation, or your federation of residence. No ifs or buts!
Frankly this whole saga is dragging the reputation of cycling even further into the mud. Speaking to some non-cyclist friends of mine, this is coming of as worse than the Armstrong scandal! Jesus Christ!

Wait really? That explains Horner's performance. He wanted to get rid of the left's he still had of US Postal times.  |

What are you talking about... Horner has never ridden for US Postal, and rides for Radioshack now, so I'm not sure how Azevedo has anything to do with his doping, but then again I'm not entirely sure what you meant. |

Source is record, I know it isn't the most reliable of the sources, but I guess it would be stupid if it was fake. |

He's not talking about Horner, he's talking about Azevedo.
Well the second sentence mentions how something explains Horner's performance, the third sentence I simply can't figure out. |

Azevedo wanted to get rid of his stash so he gave it to Horner...

He says Horner's been so good because Azevedo gave him what he had left of his doping program in USPS. Not sure what it has to do with his move to Katusha though.

Which is what I thought, which just doesn't make sense, since Horner and Azevedo never rode on the same team... |

No, but he is DS on Horners team.
