The UCI and the International Olympic Committee both announced the news yesterday, underscoring the Dutchman’s clout within both organizations. Verbruggen often confronted the scourge of doping, and was perceived as being too close to Lance Armstrong, the American rider who was the face of cycling with his seven Tour de France victories before he came embody the abuse of performance-enhancing drugs.
