ARANETA: CYCLING'S SAD STATE

Cycling's sad state - ALLEZ By Jose Vicente Araneta The Freeman >> The Freeman Sections >> Cebu Sports: "If I were an aspiring cyclist today, I’d rather go to school, get a degree, get a good job, buy the best bicycle and join the PPCL. We simply love the sport, but not the politics around it."...

PHILIPPINE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE 2009

Senate inquiry on athlete harassment? The Philippine Star >> News >> Sports: "“The Games organizers must get consent and support of IFs (International Federations like the UCI) in order for their sports to be played,” said a former POC executive. “The IFs own the sport, they own the rules, they license and give authority to referees, they accept member NSAs and their athletes.”

No National Olympic Committee (NOC) in the world, including the POC, has the right to accredit an athlete to participate in the SEA Games or Asian Games or the Olympics without prior license from the IF. That was clear when the Philippines was not allowed to participate in basketball at the 2005 SEA Games because of the FIBA suspension – even if Manila hosted the event."...

RP CYCLING POLITICS

Cycling politics Sun.Star Network Online: "“I was talking to her (Bibit) this morning and she was crying because she told me that she really wanted to compete because she felt she has a big chance to win at least two gold medals.

Cojuangco admitted to mediamen covering the Games that he indeed talked to Bitbit, advising her to stand by her teammates and sign a manifesto withdrawing her participation."...

RP CYCLISTS BARRED EVEN IN PRACTICE RUNS

RP riders barred from competing in Laos Manila Bulletin: "Joey Barba, set to defend the downhill event of mountain bike, and Scott Remie were not allowed to run in the practice session in the afternoon.

The development cost the Philippines at least two gold medals since aside from Barba, Remia Bitbit is also a defending champion.

Philcycling chairman Arnulfo Taberdo, who acted as team manager, was emotional as he narrated what transpired during the team manager’s meeting held in the morning.

Taberdo said he participated in the drawing of lots and had the impression that the team would be allowed to participate.

It was only during the release of the cyclists’ numbers when Taberdo was told to wait for UCI confirmation.

'They told me to wait for their call, so I went to the mountain bike venue and waited for the call,” Taberdo said.

The run session was scheduled 2:30 p.m. At 4 p.m., Taberdo again inquired and was told to wait until Tuesday night if the cyclists would be allowed to compete the next day.

Exasperated over the turn of events, Taberdo told a UCI official present to decide once and for all if the cyclists would be allowed to compete"...

RP CYCLING. HENSON: DONT BLAME UCI

PHILSTAR. This case only proves that the POC is powerless in recognizing an NSA if the NSA isn’t recognized by its international governing body. The POC is, in effect, unauthorized to recognize an NSA unless the NSA is sanctioned by its international governing body. The implication is before an organization applies to the POC for recognition as an NSA, it must first be confirmed as a country affiliate by the international governing body.

Gaining POC recognition as an NSA is therefore meaningless unless there is prior clearance or approval by the international governing body...

If only we Filipinos learned to settle things amicably, if only the POC exercised its political will to solve the problem between the PCA and PhilCycling and if only national interest took priority over personal interest, the cycling imbroglio in Laos could’ve been avoided.

No, UCI isn’t to blame for the shame and scandal in Laos. Only the Filipino sports leaders themselves are to blame for refusing to give in to each other, for stubbornly protecting their turf like it was a birth-right, for insisting to hold on to authority without compromise and for disgracing Philippine sports.

Caught in the middle of this mess are the 13 cyclists who are the victims of an embarrassing civil war. They trained long and hard for the SEA Games. Because of the insensitivity of the country’s sports officials, the 13 cyclists will likely be reduced to tourist status in Laos...

RP CYCLISTS BANNED IN SEA GAMES

Bitbit stint in peril as POC runs out of time The Philippine Star >> News >> Sports: "“If I were to race alone, I’ll do it. I’m used to racing alone,” said a teary-eyed Bitbit in Filipino after learning her 12 teammates were officially out of the competition. “ But the hardest part is coming over and not being able to compete. That’s bad for our morale.”

“We were told that everything is okay, that all of us would compete – iyun pala hindi,” said Bitbit, the lone UCI license holder in the team."...

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK ON THE ROAD

All sportsmen/women now what it’s like to get hungry and to get the “knock” or the “bonk”. When this happens you get weak, those pedals are so heavy, your head gets light and you can’t stay with the pack. It can happen to anyone and anytime, but normally to the under trained or those who have not prepared properly for either a hard ride or an event.  Read more @ http://www.bikecyclingreviews.com/Eat_Drink_on_the_Road.html

While it is normally held in a velodrome, the event can be held in any well-paved street that has a distance of 1.5 kilometers.

“It’s also a street event, so we can bring this to Visayas and Mindanao. It can be held anywhere,” said Bautista. “The event only requires sprint power and mental toughness.”"...
