Cycling Election Overturned
posted (May 7, 2013)
A month ago, we told you about the challenge from Daniel Cano in relation to the Western Elections for the Cycling Association.

On April 7, the National Olympic Committee held elections in the western region and former Cycling Association president Emil Moreno was re-elected as president along with vice president Gilroy Requena.

Cano challenged the results on the grounds that members of the cycling community were allowed to register on the date of the elections, and allowed to vote. That was contrary to an agreed upon deadline, and the Olympic Committee should not have allowed those late members to vote.

Well, after several weeks of deliberation, the Protest Committee of the Olympic Committee decided last night that he's right, they should not have voted. As a result, the elections from April 7 are voided and new elections will be called. They have not set a date as yet when those new elections will take place.
