Colombian Cycling Uniforms Make Riders Appear Nude

The cycling world needs some good press. After an endless cycle of doping controversies, the sport has never been taken less seriously, and if one Colombian team has its way, it will never be taken seriously again.

According to The Independent (link below), those uniforms being sported by those lovely Colombian ladies have just been banned by the International Cycling Union.

The flesh-coloured kit makes the wearer appear naked below the waist and was worn by the riders for the Bogota Humana team during the Tour of Tuscany. Images of six women wearing the otherwise red and yellow kit went viral on social media over the weekend.

The Colombian team — which is backed by the South American country's ministry of sport and is sponsored by the capital city of Bogota — were wearing the outfit to take part in the cycling competition in Italy.

ICU President Brian Cookson has now deemed them "unacceptable" and they will likely never be worn again. 

I'm glad someone's trying to restore decency to cycling...
