The 24-year-old Rio Olympian died on August 9, and in her final social media post she referenced a "cover-up" at Cycling NZ. Sources close to and within Cycling NZ have told the Weekend Herald that they believe Podmore was forced to keep quiet about an inappropriate relationship between a Cycling NZ athlete and coach Anthony Peden in 2016. Prior to taking the chief executive job at Cycling NZ, Landry spent 10 years as High Performance Director at Cycling Canada. Landry worked for Cycling NZ (BikeNZ) as head road coach leading into the 2008 Olympic Games. Under Landry's tenure at Cycling NZ the organisation also completed its 2021-28 High Performance Strategic Plan, and initiated other major changes including the integration of Para cycling into the organisation.
