No option, I would think. BC are not the cosy little club they once were, able to do their own thing with impunity. Were they seen to be discriminatory the lottery funding they are dependent on would stop and the gravy train would cease overnight.

I have made clear that I reject the specific claims that have been made against me in recent days.
Yeah, right. He protests too much.
I suppose it's possible that he was the only one.
Has he said that the 'gimps and wobblies' thing is a lie?

Pretty much. Then again, Shane Sutton didn't construct the all-white (as of yesterday) website or hire all those regional events officers.
The bigger horror is that it may say something about us (in the widest possible sense). Podium girls? The all-white cast in 'Cycling' magazine? Those revolting Wiggle ads?
It's an incredibly white sport. The only black cyclists I;ve heard of are Daniel Teklehaimanot (sp?) and Traffic Droid.

well, one cannot argue with that when it comes to elite cyclists, although you've missed the incomparable Bauge.
But, while there are many tens of thousands of black cyclists in London alone, and, doubtless, great numbers in every city in the Great Britain, the organisations and periodicals that (please excuse the clumsiest of phrases) sell our dreams back to us simply don't represent this fact.
