Although the members of the Bogota Humana cycling team didn't do well in the race in Tuscany, they got a lot of media attention when their group photo in "naked" jerseys went around the world. Tricots that imitate the female genital organ have also raised eyebrows with the competent authorities at the International Cycling Union (UCI). Is sexism at work or is it just cheap advertising? Judge for yourself.
"Colombian women's cycling team jerseys (Bogotá Humana, op.p.) in skin color are unacceptable," snarled the Briton Brian Cookson, the president UCI-yes and continued. "We agree with everyone who pointed out the inappropriateness of the Colombian team's jerseys. This is unacceptable by all human standards dignity.” It probably won't help much at this point if we mention that the controversial part of the otherwise red-yellow jerseys is not skin, but golden color and that a similar pattern had already been used on men's jerseys (look at the picture).
In any case, it strongly hints at nudity intimate parts. Is that it sheer coincidence or we again witness the symptom that we see e.g. in bike racks, where the author only designs things in theory, which are poured into the final product past a strainer called a test in practice.
Of course, that's it controversial the patch on the jerseys also floated a question sexism and inequality of women, who are also paid less than their male colleagues in cycling.
