Pat McQuaid, president of cycling's international governing body, the UCI, has told Swiss magazine L'Illustré that the structure of professional cycling may have to undergo dramatic changes in the wake of Floyd Landis' positive drug test.
McQuaid said that the distances of races, the number of rest days, the structure of the racing calendar and the organisation of teams would all be studied by a group of experts. "If the results demand it, we will overturn all our regulations and our working methods as early as the 2008 season," said McQuaid.
