Intro:

A Colombian women's cycling team said on Wednesday (17 September) that they won't stop wearing flesh-coloured uniforms despite criticism from the International Cycling Union president.

Script:

Six Colombian women have caused a stir to the cycling world this week.

The six cyclists held a news conference in the capital Bogota wearing controversial uniforms, which have a flesh-coloured section between the stomach and thighs.

They wore the uniforms at the Tour of Tuscany in Italy over the weekend which created the initial stir in the cycling world.

International Cycling Union President Brian Cookson wrote on his Twitter account that the uniforms were "unacceptable by any standard of decency."

And the UCI have now confirmed that an investigation has taken place into the incident and the governing body 'will be sending a letter to the Colombian Federation reminding them of their responsibility to the Cycling Code of Conduct.

It would appear we haven't heard the end of this with the Colombian cyclists insisting they've done nothing to get under the skin, of the UCI.
