Description

The head of High Performance Sport NZ was warned in 2018 of concerns an athlete would lose their life, if the environment in Cycling NZ was not fixed. The warning came from a senior doctor who had worked closely with athletes in the Cycling New Zealand programme. It's the latest testimony at the inquest into the death of elite cyclist Olivia Podmore. The doctor told the Coroner's Court in Hamilton today that she met with former High Performance Sport NZ boss Michael Scott in June 2018 after reports surfaced in the media about the "toxic culture" at Cycling NZ. Reporter Dana Johannsen has been at court and spoke to Lisa Owen. A warning this story discusses suicide.
