55 Olympic medals. 6 Tour de France victories. Countless world records and world championship victories. Since the year 2000, British Cycling, Team Sky and INEOS have dominated the sport of cycling to an unprecedented degree. But at what cost? Did Sir David Brailsford, Peter Keen and the other brains behind British Cycling's massive and sudden dominance in the modern era find a winning "Moneyball" formula? Or did their success come down to luck and personal chemistry? Did this organisation, founded on relentless, ruthless efficiency contain contradictions which threatened to overwhelm it, amid accusations of drug-taking, bullying and sexism? The Medal Factory tells the full story from amateurish beginnings through a sports-science revolution to an all-conquering, yet flawed, machine. Through interviews with Brailsford and Keen, Shane Sutton, Fran Millar, Chris Boardman, Sir Chris Hoy and many other key players, Kenny Pryde interrogates the parts of the story - lottery funding, marginal gains - that we think we know, and reveals others that have remained hidden, until now.

In the early 1990s British cycling was an irrelevance on the world stage on both road and track. Yet by the Beijing Olympics in 2008 it had turned itself into the most feared track squad in the sport. Four years later, in 2012, British Cycling and British riders would dominate the sport on both road and the London Olympic velodrome, thanks to the efforts to Team GB, Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky. It was an unprecedented turnaround, driven by bold, visionary leadership from Peter Keen, Dave Brailsford, Shane Sutton, Chris Boardman, Steve Peters and a supporting cast of coaches and riders. But how was this astonishing transformation achieved? Was it a combination of good luck and Lottery funding? A happy meeting of minds? And, as the Olympic and World championship medals were piled on top of Tour de France yellow jerseys, the questions started to pile up too. Was the regime at British Cycling a healthy one? Did staff and riders at Team Sky bend the rules to the point of breaking them? Were allegations of bullying, sexism and drug use well-founded?

“Andreea Raducan was in the middle of an unhappy turn of events — most of which were beyond her control and started from an innocent action. Subsequently, it blotted her career. To win the Olympic gold medal is perhaps the rarest occasion when the gods are on your side, so to speak. As an athlete you have to be in the best shape of your life and your performances have to impress the judges in such a way that they know you are the best in the world. Andreea was an Olympic Champion and experienced the euphoria and elation that comes with being an Olympic champion — something that only a few people ever experience. More amazing was the all-around championship result (a Romanian 1-2-3) and while Andreea was still receiving congratulatory messages from Romania and abroad, the nightmare began. In only a few moments our extreme joy turned into bewilderment, despair, frustration and indignation at a decision that is very difficult to explain, even today. It is for this reason that this book attempts to revisit those events as accurately as possible.”
