Olympic cycling suits will have to be burnt - Times Online: "

All but a few of the scientifically pioneered racesuits worn by Sir Chris Hoy and his fellow cyclists in the Beijing Olympics last year will soon be incinerated. The suits were the product of a four-year programme of design and development that used input from Formula One technology. The value of the suit - or rather the risk of foreign competitors getting their hands on one and learning from the design - is such that these suits can never be seen again.

They are now back in storage at British Cycling's headquarters in Manchester. A few will be retained for testing purposes and when storage space runs out, the others will be destroyed"
