Team-mates accuse British cycling's axed golden boy Matthew Richardson of having a 'God complex' - as his girlfriend ignores drama to win at the World Championships in his absence

British cycling's golden boy Matthew Richardson has been accused of having a 'God complex' after being axed from the team following allegations of using racist language. Richardson, 27, was sent home from the Cycling World Championships on Monday with the 'misconduct' probe over his behaviour still ongoing, while his 23-year-old cyclist girlfriend Emma Finucane remains at the competition in Shanghai and raced to qualifying victory for the Women's Team Sprint on Wednesday morning.
