In these tough times, tough decisions need to be made.

Is change in the wind or is it the sweet scent of revenge?

Greg LeMond says the president of the International Cycling Union can't remain in his job while a panel examines possible links between the organization and the doping case involving Lance Armstrong.

What the UCI says is an independent panel is set to examine possible links between cycling's governing body and the Lance Armstrong doping case.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) has asked Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) board president John Coates to help choose a team to investigate the governing body's links to the Lance Armstrong doping case.

A slow process but an achievable goal.

If cycling leaders want a credible independent investigation about their possible cover-up of Lance Armstrong's doping, they must give the panel sufficient funding and resources.

Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond has urged the leaders of cycling's governing body to resign in the wake of the Lance Armstrong doping affair, calling them "the corrupt part of the sport."

Cycling's governing body, UCI, agreed Monday to strip Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles and ban him for life, following a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that found him guilty of leading a massive doping program on his teams.

Lance Armstrong challenged the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to name names and say what it had on him.
