Ex-drugs chief sued by cycle body

Dick Pound
Pound stepped down as Wada president at the end of 2007

The International Cycling Union plans to sue former World Anti-Doping Agency president Dick Pound for "continual injurious and biased comments".

"On many occasions Mr Pound has publicly questioned the extent of the UCI's efforts in the fight against doping," said cycling's governing body.

Pound stepped down as World Anti-Doping Agency chief at the end of 2007 after the maximum two terms of office.

The UCI's action will be heard before the Swiss courts.
