This cycleto guy - who apparently has a website that is based upon a
business model of copyright infringement, comes in here and tries to
pawn off Ochowicz like some "star" of cycling.

Anybody in the sport who knows anything about the sport knows Och is a
* corrupt piece of garbage.

Bisceglia is still suing him for wrongful termination. *Bisceglia *- a
decent guy - was fired because he caught Och using his position as USAC
President to make 6-figure deals and then pocketing all the money for
himself as if Och personally had made the money unconnected to his
function as president.

Och is also the guy who claimed that the failure of batteries in the
race radio during the Sydney Olympics road race is what caused him to
not be able to inform the U.S. team that the 3 doped up Telekoms had
gotten off the front.

You gotta ask yourself why a guy wouldn't think to carry spare ****ing
batteries or radios during an Olympic road race. *When I heard that
excuse, I knew the guy was incompetent. *That's like a SCUBA diver
instructor saying his tank "accidently" ran out of air.

Mistakes like that are unacceptable and a sign of bush league incompetency.

Och now works for Wiesel defrauding investors out of their San Francisco
* *hideout. *Wiesel already had to pay several million in fines to stave
off lawsuits from prosecutors/regulators.

Unfortunately they installed their corrupt robot - Steve Johnson - as
CEO. *Johnson is a guy who spends 90 days a year flying all over the
world on vacation junkets to various races on membership dime and then
tells cyclocross racers who qualified for the worlds team they have to
pay for their own airfare and accommodations.

Johnson, Sean Petty....these guys spend weeks at races all over the
world at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars to the membership. *And
there's absolutely no reason for them to be there.


Good post.
