Skateboarding and Cycling--the same sport?

While I can recognize the need to increase the Olympic's youth viewership I cannot fathom the thought of seeing skateboarding under the direction of the International Cycling Union as suggested in this article posted last year by ESPN.

In order for Skateboarding to appear at the 2012 Games in London, the sport must be filed as a new discipline under and already existing sport as it is too late to add any more sports to the 2012 roster. Skateboarding, like most extreme sports, is a little late on the organizational bandwagon and has no unifying international body of governance. Maybe it's the rebel ingrained within the culture or maybe it's plain laziness, whatever it is, it better find one fast before it ends up under the discipline of this organization.
