Great Britain swatted aside recent controversies to show the future is bright with five gold medals at the Track World Cup in Glasgow.The only sign of trouble came when Katie Archibald and Manon Lloyd crashed before responding to win womens Madison gold on Saturday -- despite a fractured wrist for Archibald and concussion for Lloyd.And, after the team pursuit squads triumphs on Fridays opening day, Emily Kay won the new-look omnium on Sunday, when the mens team sprint squad of Jack Carlin, Ryan Owens and Joe Truman were also victorious at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.It saw Britain top the medal table at the opening Track World Cup of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic cycle -- with the rest of the world looking on with envy once more.Shane Sutton resigned as British Cycling technical director 100 days prior to the Rio Olympics, ending a 15-year association, amid allegations of discrimination which he continues to deny. Britain won six of 10 track titles in Rio despite the controversy.Sutton was last month found to have used inappropriate and discriminatory language towards Jess Varnish, effectively ending hope of a return to the National Cycling Centre in Manchester.An independent review into the culture of the world-class performance programme is ongoing -- and so it seems is the talent production line, which is sure to attract candidates to the vacant role of performance director.Archibald was the only active member of Britains Olympic squad competing here.The 22-year-old from Milngavie, north of Glasgow, won Olympic team pursuit gold in August with Joanna Rowsell-Shand, Elinor Barker and Laura Trott [now Kenny after her marriage to six-time Olympic champion Jason Kenny in September].That was despite an injury-interrupted build-up which saw Archibald miss Marchs Track World Championships in London with knee and elbow injuries sustained in a motorbike accident.Now she will see a specialist in Manchester on Monday and faces another spell of rehabilitation. This time she was able to laugh it off.I thought Im not going to go to A&E on a Saturday night, Bonfire Night, its going to be hell, she said. I couldnt sleep. I waited until what I thought was definitely the next day and not the previous day and went off to A&E.Archibald was able to greet fans before the final session.Most people have been really glad that its not my autograph hand thats hurt but it was just a lot of get well soons, she added.Of more serious concerns for Archibald and her established teammates is the battle for their places, now there is upward pressure from a promising crop of talented riders.Kay, the most senior member of the team pursuit squad which won on Friday, won her second gold of the three-day event with a mature and composed ride in the new-look omnium.Laura Kenny won a second Olympic title in the event in Rio, when it featured three timed and three bunch disciplines over two days, while Archibald won the European title in the revised format -- of four bunch races in one day -- last month.Kay was fourth in the opening scratch race, second in the tempo race and second in the elimination race to sit second entering the concluding points race.The 21-year-old from Bromsgrove was six points behind Japans Yumi Kajihara, but overcame that margin and then held off the challenge from behind as Belgiums Lotte Kopecky finished one point adrift.For the first World Cup in the cycle, to win gold is better than I could have imagined, Kay said.Britain have won the last three Olympics in the three-rider, three-lap mens team sprint but no world title since 2005.That might soon change as Carlin, Owens and Truman showed there is strength in depth behind Rio gold medallists Phil Hindes, Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner.The trio won in 43.479 seconds, with France second, and now compete at next weeks Track World Cup in Apeldoorn, Holland.Owens, an unused Rio Olympics reserve, said: Were such a unit together, were friends on and off the track. We were third in qualifying but we just got better and better as the day went on.We just went out there and enjoyed the environment with the home crowd and it came out the best way possible.

The CEO of next years Rugby League World Cup has surprisingly resigned amid reports he had fallen out with Penrith CEO Corey Payne over the tournaments NSW snub.Michael Brown stepped down on Friday as 2017 Rugby League World Cup boss and also resigned as NRL chief commercial officer, blaming stress.Brown - who was appointed in June - made the shock call just three days after he unveiled the tournament draw in Brisbane.The task of taking on two such senior roles - especially away from my home town of Melbourne - has been particularly stressful, he said in a statement.However, Brown reportedly quit after a stoush with Payne over the tournaments schedule.News Corp Australia reports Brown left a scathing text message on Paynes phone following the scheduling criticism from the Panthers CEO.NSW host just two of the tournaments 28 games - two of minnows Lebanons pool matches at Sydneys ANZ Stadium.Brown said at the tournament draw launch that the NSW government failed to come to the party financially and so the state was largely overlooked in the schedule.Even AFL-mad Darwin will host a quarter-final after NSW government disinterest.But Payne slammed organisers over the World Cup draw in an open letter to Panthers members on Tuesday night on the NRL clubs website.ddddddddddddHe said it was mind boggling that organisers did not allocate a World Cup game in western Sydney.I am extremely disappointed that we have been snubbed by the NRL for commercial reasons, he wrote.It is a real shame that the NRL cannot see the opportunity out here in the west.If they cannot make World Cup games commercially viable in western Sydney, then I must be living on the moon - western Sydney deserves better.NRL CEO Todd Greenberg and World Cup chairman George Peponis said they understood Browns position and accepted his resignation.RLWC chief operating officer Maria Sykes will be interim CEO.The NRLs head of commercial Andrew Abdo will report directly to Greenberg.The World Cup preparations are well advanced and I am very confident the foundations are in place for a successful tournament, Brown said.The NRL has also put together a strong commercial team to take the game forward so this is an appropriate time to step aside.
