Shane Sutton suspended.
Time to beg for Sir Dave Brailsford to come back to oversee things til Rio? Much as he oversaw the World Championships a couple of years ago.

Some words of wisdom as ever from Nicole Cooke here.
British cycling could do a lot worse than to offer her a job.

I would love to see that, but that is about as likely as the FA offering her a job. The statements issued by BC make it clear that they have done nothing but miss the point.

Re: Shane Sutton suspended.
If it's true that he called paralympians 'gimps' & 'wobblies' as reported then good riddance as far as I'm concerned.
Re: Shane Sutton suspended.
He has now quit, I hope it doesn't affect Rio too much.
Re: Shane Sutton suspended.
Shane Sutton is a 58 year old ex aussie pro. He is obviously a great coach for many , but to .expect him to buy into the modern equality principles is counter to everything he would of been conditioned to in the first 30 years of his life. I dont understand why BC have no female coaches
Nicole Cooke as much as I admire her would be a disaster , she never got along with the others, in her Biog she singles out Sutton and had alot of problems with him. The Varnish situation was a chance for her to come up with her accusations against him again

And why do you think she might have had problems with Shane Sutton?

Shane Sutton may be a dinosaur from another age but that doesn't excuse his behaviour. More to the point, if you and I can see it, why couldn't the management at BC.
I don't think you can just dismiss Nicole Cooke's comments as sour grapes.

Not quite as simple as that - Jo Rowsell and Laura Trott have said that they've not had any issues with him. One of the male BMXers says that Sutton made his life a misery.

Pete Kennaugh looked to be filling the vacancy. Then felt the need to delete his Twitter account.
His CV has been saved for posterity though. [emoji1]
