Russell Williams “They’d rather send nobody than a black man”

Russell Williams, 18 times British national champion, sat down for a powerful interview, unearthing “something that has been buried in me for over 40 years. Now it’s uncovered there’s no going back.”

Williams claims repeated refusal to select him for the national team and Olympics, despite huge successes on the bike. “I could never ride fast enough or win enough, because the one thing I couldn’t do anything about was the colour of my skin.”
