Olympics-New Zealand cyclist Maxwell confirmed for Paris after selection dispute


(Reuters) - New Zealand mountain biker Sammie Maxwell was named in the country's Olympic team on Monday after a national sports tribunal found selectors had used incorrect medical evidence about her eating disorder in an initial decision to exclude her.

Maxwell, who has suffered from an eating disorder since she was 15, earned an Olympic quota place for the Games but was denied a spot by Cycling New Zealand's (CNZ) nominations panel.
