It can't be because some of the riders that aren't being sent are self-funding and they're still not allowed to go - see the petition I posted in the BMX Racing thread.

Then it seems to be a destructive and even vindictive policy and I hope this sort of decision making is addressed in whatever enquiry follows the Sutton debacle.
FYI there's an article in the Guardian on Tre Whyte:

Basically BC only seems to give a shit about the Track and men's road riding.
Also following your link I briefly thought Tre Whyte was your son.

The one thing I really don't understand is why in disciplines like BMX, MTB and the women's World Champs we haven't been sending the full quota of riders we could? Aren't we sending 2 rather than 5 BMX riders to the World Championship race, and in doing so leaving our top rider at home? It just doesn't compute, is it financial?
