Former British Cycling technical director Shane Sutton had a complaint against him that he aimed "inappropriate and discriminatory language" at cyclist Jess Varnish upheld on Friday, the national governing body announced. The 59-year-old Australian - a key figure in the success of British cyclists at both the Beijing and London Olympics - contested the allegations made by Varnish although he did step down from his role 100 days before the Rio Olympics.
Varnish, a former world and European Championship medallist, claimed Sutton had told her to "go and have a baby" after her contract was not renewed.
