GENEVA Camisola Cedric Mundial 2018 , March 9 (Xinhua) -- UCI President Brian Cookson said Monday he will ask former UCI leader Hein Verbruggen to give up his honorary presidency after a scathing report into the sport's doping culture revealed the governing body colluded with and protected Lance Armstrong.
The 227-page report, published after a year-long probe, criticized Verbruggen and successor Pat McQuaid for letting doping flourish and breaking rules and covering up for the sport's star rider.
Cookson admitted cycling still has "an endemic problem of lower-level doping."
Cookson said Armstrong's first Tour de France win in 1999 was "an absolutely critical moment" in sending a message the UCI was not serious about stopping doping.
The UCI chief questioned the claim of one witness in the report who suggested 90 percent of top-level riders still dope, but acknowledged "have not solved the problem".

BEIJING， May 12 (Xinhua) -- The China Representative Office of World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday revealed the theme of World No Tobacco Day 2016: "Get ready for plain packaging."
Plain packaging means no brands， logos or advertising on cigarette packs. Packs will be a standard color， and brands will be printed in uniform typeface. Graphic warnings will also be featured.
Reducing the attractiveness of tobacco products， restricting the use of packaging as advertising， limiting misleading packaging and labeling， and increasing the effectiveness of health warnings， will all help to reduce smoking， according to the WHO.
Angela Pratta， who leads the WHO's Tobacco Free Initiative in China， said graphic warnings influence consumers' emotional response more effectively than health warnings and increase their motivation to quit.
Beijing's Chaoyang District Center for Disease Control Prevention released a report on public awareness of graphic warnings on Thursday.
The investigation showed low awareness. Sixty-eight percent of the respondents have not seen cigarette packs with graphic warnings， said Wang Zhaonan， a doctor at the center.
More than 90 percent of respondents believed that the cigarette packs with graphic warnings could directly show the harmful effect of tobacco， according to the investigation.
Only 6 percent of teenage respondents knew the harmful effects of tobacco and 72 percent of students said they would not attempt to smoke if packs had graphic warnings.
