€6m windfall for dope row cycling chief

- BY ALAN SELBY

Brailsford CYCLING chief Sir Dave Brailsford and partner Lisa Buckle will share a windfall of almost €6million – as he battles doping claims.

Team Sky’s boss Sir Dave, 54, filed documents at Companies House last month to close his personal company, Brailsford Ltd.

A solvency statement shows €5.94million will be freed up for the couple.

Early this week MPS on the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee alleged Team Sky abused anti-doping rules before Sir Bradley Wiggins’ 2012 Tour de France victory.

Team Sky and Sir Bradley, 37, strongly deny all the allegation­s.

Sir Dave failed to respond this week as he faced several calls to resign as head of Team Sky. Melanie Brown
