Cycling-Varnish still hopeful of place on British team for Rio (Reuters)
Jess Varnish, the rider at the heart of discrimination claims that have rocked British Cycling, says she is determined to win back her place in the track team for the Rio Olympics. The former European team sprint champion was dropped by technical director Shane Sutton who subsequently resigned after Varnish claimed he had made sexist comments towards her. Australian Sutton was also alleged to have made derogatory comments about para-cyclists, prompting British Cycling to launch an independent review of its performance programmes.
