Pat McQuaid insists the International Cycling Union has "nothing to hide" over a donation made by Lance Armstrong in 2002.
Briton David Millar is among those to call for the resignation of Verbruggen, who has made a series of comments appearing to defend Armstrong. Irishman McQuaid added: "Cycling has come a long way. I have no intention as resigning as president of the UCI. On Verbruggen, now honorary president of the UCI, McQuaid told Sky Sports News: "First of all he never said there was no evidence against Lance Armstrong; he said Lance Armstrong had never tested positive, and that's correct. "There's nothing in the USADA report that shows that Mr Verbruggen did anything untoward or anything wrong, so therefore there's no reason why he should go."
