The modest funding is another reason for complaint of thecycling federation representatives. In their turn the Ministry of Youth and Sports has a totally different pointofview.

Alexandru Barciuc, vice president of the National Cycling Federation: - I cannot understand the separation the sports in important and lessimportant.The question is- why cycling is not among the top six sports in Moldova?Unlike other federations we do go to the ministry to ask for money. Although, frankly speaking- we arenot givenmoney. The government gave us40.000lei instead of 250.000planned from the start.

Andrei Cimili, National Cycling Federation president: - The decrease of thefederation budget withsix timesdoes not make us happy.
