Commonwealth Games organisers apologise to England tandem team fined by UCI for bronze medal protest Sophie Unwin and Georgia Holt finished third in Friday’s tandem B sprint but were not awarded medals as only four teams took part cycling
Following their protest, the UCI fined Unwin, Holt and England team manager Keith Reynold 200 Swiss Francs each for their “failure to respect the instructions of the commissaire/organiser”.
“In the small number of cases where there are fewer than five entries in a Commonwealth Games event, the CGF applies a medal allocation policy to maintain the integrity of competition,” a spokesperson said.
