Becky Quinn v. USA Cycling
A month before facing the world’s best at the Beijing Olympics, USA Cycling squared off against one of its own, track rider Rebecca Quinn, in a Colorado Springs courtroom. On July 9 Quinn took USA Cycling to arbitration after the governing body’s selection committee did not name her to its Olympic squad. Quinn, who hoped to compete in the Olympic points race, complained that favoritism and a conflict of interest involving team coach Andy Sparks and individual pursuit rider Sarah Hammer — Sparks’ fiancé — kept her from making the team.
