Eating disorder cyclist: 'I saw myself as a weight, not as Oscar'

A Wales Academy cyclist from Cardiff, who is managing an eating disorder whilst training, has warned about the dangers of body image in the sport.

Oscar Mingay, 19, spoke of coaches and parents "pinching" riders, calling them "thunder-thighs" or "chunky" when racing abroad unaware of the impact it can have.

He said he would not eat for a day and ride four hours just to lose weight.
