Stand with Kimmage

The UCI are taking Paul Kimmage to court for writing that they covered up a positive for Lance Armstrong (story on Velonation here). The same accusation is leveled by Hamilton and Coyle in The Secret Race, and will likely be further corroborated when USADA present their case against Armstrong. As David Walsh has pointed out, the UCI are vindictively suing only Kimmage and not the publications in which those accusations appeared (that includes us!). Our friends at Cyclismas.com and @Digger_forum have set up a Chipin for Kimmage’s defense fund below.

Update: A commenter below asked if Kimmage would criticize British Cycling with the same vigor. Here’s what he wrote about Wiggins and Sky this July.

Update: I’ll try to collect all the media reports on this I can, in no particular order. Thanks for getting the word out:
