Dragging cycling from the "mire" of the Lance Armstrong affair will be Brian Cookson's objective if the British Cycling chief succeeds in unseating International Cycling Union President Pat McQuaid this year. McQuaid's bid for a third term as president of cycling's ruling body is set to be decided at a UCI congress at the world championships in Florence in September.
