Matt Richardson has been withdrawn from the Great Britain squad that is set to compete at next week’s World Track Cycling Championships, following reports that the rider is under investigation for alleged misconduct.
The decision was announced after media outlets reported that Richardson is being examined by the governing body, though no details about the nature of the allegations have been released.
Britain’s track cycling team will still travel to the championships, which are scheduled to run next week, but Richardson will not be part of the squad.
GB Cycling has not issued a formal statement about the withdrawal, and the team’s coaching staff will focus on preparing the remaining riders for the competition.
The incident highlights the sport’s strict adherence to codes of conduct and the importance of maintaining integrity within the national team.
