The piece in the Daily Mail was wrong on this, BC took advice on what any ban would mean for the selection for Rio and shared this information with Armitstead. Her legal costs were borne by her and/or her team.

I understand that.
“We paid for legal advice on our own position because there were a number of considerations as she was going through the Olympic selection process and was a podium athlete,” said a British Cycling spokesman. “That legal advice was shared with Lizzie and her team. Lizzie herself funded the actual appeal to Cas”
It cost's about £800 to register an appeal to CAS. I wonder how much the legal advice was worth?
Do they do the same for everyone?

British Cycling funded her legal team?
Is that what we're paying for?!
