Good job! -
press release received this morning

"Having examined the report from the President of the Commissaire's Panel and studied the available TV images following the crash that involved in particular the riders Theo Bos (NED) and Daryl Impey (RSA) during the last stage of the Presidential Cycling Tour (Tour of Turkey), the International Cycling Union (UCI) has decided to refer the matter to its disciplinary Commission.

Indeed, the UCI has deemed that Theo Bos' behaviour undermined the image, reputation and interests of cycling and of the UCI. In accordance with article 12.1.005 of the UCI Regulations, this infringement is liable to a suspension of 1 to 6 months.

Any such sanction would be added to the technical sanctions delivered by the Commissaire's Panel directly after the race. In accordance with article 12.1.040 / 10.2.2 of the UCI Regulations, Theo Bos was disqualified and received a fine."

Follow Daryl Impeys recovery - its nasty, he's got his jaw wired shut for weeks http://www.darylimpey.com/

Only 1 - 6 months? That was one of the ugliest blatant takedowns Ive seen, and not just in cycling! He will likely serve his suspension and be back racing before Daryl will be back on a bike! At least they are taking some action tho..

Fucking hell, six months is nothing when you're fucking with someone's livelihood. Test that man for 'roid rage.

Irnony is, if that was done off the sports field that'd be an assault charge.

Just spike his weet-bix with EPO - that will sort him for a couple of years.......

meh, just spike him?

Meh its not as if Theo was going to do too much racing in the middle of the season in the first place. Been a since we have had a decent aggressive sprinter. Abdujaperov anyone...

It was ugly and its the worst one in years by far and has no place in the sport but Abdo did that stuff at random hey Oli

Not condoning Theo's actions at all

Douchebag. The local cops should prosecute him for assault or some such shit.

Nah, they're a bunch of Turkeys.

They should punish him by exposing him to an unending stream of Oli's puns.

The punishment wouldn't fit the crime.

Suspend him, give him a chance to think, let him back. I suspect he's learnt his lesson.

The professional peleton seems to have a very.... very long memory
