- Former European team sprint champion Jess Varnish has won the right to appeal after an employment tribunal ruled against her in January in her case against British Cycling and UK Sport.
The case had the potential to impact how UK Sport offered grants to British athletes, potentially forcing the governing body to introduce benefits and increased protection in the event of disputes or grievances. “We could easily have walked away after the original decision went against us. However, I believe we’re doing the right thing by not giving up,” Varnish said in the statement.
