UCI President Pat McQuaid vigorously denied allegations that Rock
Racing's license bid failed for political reasons. "I don't know the
details but I would say that's pure bullshit," McQuaid said. "I wasn't
involved in the decision but that wouldn't be a reason. That's all
bullshit."


Okay, McQuaid is the president of the organization issuing the
licenses. How %^&*ing clueles is McQuaid?

Is it "political" to deny a license to a team that has become the equivalent
of the 1970s Oakland Raiders, hiring a crew of presumably-ex-dopers that
nobody else would take? Well, maybe. But what about denying the license due
to incompetence? Look at Michael Ball's quote in the same article-

"I'm sure there are a lot reasons why they didn't give it to us," he added.
"Probably one of the mistakes I made was to consider Landis on the team.
That really hurt our chances more than anything. I've learned more about
this sport and that there are a lot of politics and hopefully we'll be able
to get things right."

He's been at this game how long and he's still claiming ignorance to be an
excuse? This isn't about politics, it's about stepping out of Darwin's way
and letting things progress as they should.

In a parallel universe, Michael Ball would be an awesome DS for a Rollerball
team.

dumbass,

landis' involvement didn't prevent OUCH from getting a license.

ball is in love with the idea of having his own team but he wasn't
prepared for the shitty reality of it.

MB is a pile of Mexican Shit, always has been, and always will be.
I think there might be a few pros from last year that got relegated to
the amateur team that are having the last laugh now.
Welcome MB to the amateur club level. "Not Dead Yet".... just needing
someone to unplug the life support on this asshole.
Take your fucking circus elsewhere ass clown.

"O*C"
