    @Donsteppa not sure why the guy's name is suppressed. There's plenty of identifying information.

    I had my suspicions and googled an ex CNZ cycling coach and resultant wiki page gave details which effectively confirmed it.

    Googling the ex-wife brings up her wedding...

    No idea who the athlete was in the inappropriate relationship though, and probably don't need to know.

    Pretty shit system, I'm blaming the system for putting an arsehole in charge and keeping him there.

    Poor kid.

    How did the women’s 1500m in the 2012 London Olympics get its unenviable reputation? Athletes who were cheated out of medals talk about what happened that day – and how the results have slowly unravelled

    That's a good read, I'm sure the 1988 100m would rate up there in the dirtiest race stakes if they could review samples now - oh, and every single TDF.

    The most transparent cash grab you can imagine. Native Title is out of control in Australia at the moment.
