Anthony Peden (born 15 September 1970) is a New Zealand cyclist. He competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, in the Men's keirin and the men's sprint. [1] Peden was the head sprint coach at Cycling New Zealand from 2013 until his resignation in 2018. His resignation prompted an independent review of bullying allegations within Cycling New Zealand. [2] The Heron report found that Peden had an inappropriate personal relationship with a female athlete and was involved in "numerous instances of bullying" while sprint coach. [3] Peden is now the Head Sprint Coach of the Chinese National track cycling team. [4] [5] [6]
