• Former UK Athletics chair says governing bodies must pay 25%
• ‘Wealthy names like Mo Farah should pay their own way’
The funding of Olympic sport in Britain is “bloated”, “flawed” and needs a “radical overhaul” to end the dependency on national lottery money, a leading voice in the system has told the Guardian.
Ed Warner, who was chair of UK Athletics until last year and has since worked at British Equestrian and British Basketball, also claimed that there are too many people receiving funding and “some of the bigger sports have so much money they don’t know what to do with it”.
