British Cycling is on the brink of failing to push through its governance reforms, putting £43m of Sport England and UK Sport funding in serious doubt.

It is understood that it will fail to reach the required 75% majority vote in favour of the reforms at an emergency general meeting of British Cycling’s national council.

The governing body was warned that future funding is dependent on it adopting reforms designed to improve governance standards across sport but it has failed to convince enough of the organisation’s 130,000 members.

A pressure group has been lobbying against the reforms believing they will leave too much power in the hands of too few. It is understood three of 10 regions voted to reject the measures.
