The 'Porn Peloton cycling across Europe'

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

It's very rare that Sportshour contains some x-rated content, but a row has broken out between the adult entertainment industry and British Cycling. The Porn Pedallers cycling club has lost its affiliation with the organisation because the governing body says its name might damage the sport's image. The club says it's gained more than 100 members, comprising porn actors and industry workers since forming three years ago, and says it raises money and awareness for sexual health charities. Chris Ratcliff is the club’s founder and tells Sportshour why they don’t want to change their name. Photo: Porn Pedallers cycling club (Twitter - @pornpedallers)
