    Except she didn't really and even Tweeted to correct the shoddy, misleading article. It's just a series of out-of-context sections from her book.

    Quite an interesting read, though I missed the bit where she let's rip.

    There's the bit where Lizzie Deignan blames Lizzie Armitstead for the missed tests.

    Another Guardian piece covering the same ground, but another Guardian writer.
    You would think they are trying to sell a mate's book.
    Still no context whatsoever to the helmet or bedroom allegations.
    If anything, this piece reads worse as there is now no reference to a professional trade team.
    "On tour"? Clear as mud.
    Of the 200 odd comments underneath, very few refer to the sexism angle.
    It's still all about the drugs and missed tests for these Guardian readers.
    After the race, Armitstead, then only 22, said of Cooke, “I’ve never seen her ride for a team-mate.” It was a brave thing to say about the then Olympic champion.

    Yet another 'puff piece' from the Grauniad.......

    Go and visit their cycling page - and the absence of any race reports, but the abundance of Team Sky/ GB negative stories.....
