LONDON (Reuters) - Former performance director Dave Brailsford has rejected accusations by former world and Olympic champion Nicole Cooke that British Cycling has a culture of sexism. It is why British Cycling has won as many female medals as male ones since 2008." The 33-year-old retired rider agreed when asked whether she felt sexism was culturally embedded in British cycling. British Cycling and Team Sky have been under scrutiny over a mysterious package delivered to the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine in which Bradley Wiggins, the 2012 Tour de France winner, was riding. The package was transported to France by British Cycling women’s team manager Simon Cope, who has said he did not know what was in it.
