Jess Varnish shock over Sutton findings
Jess Varnish has said she is 'shocked and upset' after learning only one of her nine complaints against the former British Cycling technical director were upheld by the national governing body.
British Cycling said in October that former Olympian Varnish's complaint of 'inappropriate and discriminatory language' against Shane Sutton had been upheld.
However, it emerged last night that 59-year-old Sutton had been cleared of eight of the counts against him.
A leaked document showed the British Cycling board upheld the complaint that it was probable Sutton used the term 'bitches', but it showed that further claims were not accepted.
The board returned a 'not upheld' verdict on the claim Sutton had told Halesowen's Varnish, 26, to 'Get on with having a baby'.
She told the BBC: "I am shocked and upset by this news and have instructed my solicitor to appeal the findings of the internal investigation."
