£10k British Cycling gear 'sold on eBay'
UK Sport has instructed British Cycling to investigate claims equipment was being sold on auction websites.
British Cycling personnel are understood to have met to address claims high-performance kit, including skinsuits and bikes worth in the region of £10,000, have been made available for sale to the highest
bidder.
The claims were made in the week Shane Sutton resigned as technical director following allegations of discrimination towards Halesowen Olympian Jess Varnish and para-cycling riders.
Sutton denies the allegations and will take part in an independent review set up by British Cycling and UK Sport, the funding body which distributes lottery cash to Olympic and Paralympic sports.
UK Sport has invested £30.5million into British Cycling for 2013-2017, governing the Rio Olympics, which open in 99 days' time, and Paralympics. Now the umbrella body wants answers over the allegations kit has apparently been made for sale.
