England's Sophie Unwin has been fined for protesting against a decision to not award her a Commonwealth Games bronze medal despite finishing third.

The tandem B sprint had four entries and rules say only gold and silver medals will be issued in such cases.

Para-cyclist Unwin and pilot Georgia Holt borrowed bronze medals from team-mates Laura Kenny and Josie Knight to pose for photographs on the podium.

But the pair have each been fined by cycling's governing body, the UCI.

The 200 Swiss francs fine has also been issued to England's cycling team manager Keith Reynolds.

However, BBC Sport understands this is an active issue and Team England is in ongoing discussions with the Commonwealth Games Federation.

The UCI stated the fine was for "failure to respect the instructions of the commissaire/organiser".

England's Unwin and Holt beat Scotland's Libby Clegg and pilot Jenny Holl in what was called the bronze-medal final on Friday. They were displayed as bronze medal winners on the big screens inside the velodrome in London.

However, they were later denied access to the medal ceremony.

Unwin and Holt protested by holding up an England flag behind the podium before being asked to move by security.

Later, while posing for photographs on the empty podium, they visibly wiped away tears as the crowd spotted them, rising to their feet in applause.

Unwin, 28, won Paralympic road race silver and individual pursuit bronze in Tokyo last summer.

Five teams originally entered the tandem B sprint event at the Commonwealth Games but because only four started, rules state only gold and silver medals are to be awarded. However, it appears this was not communicated to the teams.

It is understood Team England want the rules to be changed to promote greater inclusivity.

A Commonwealth Games Federation spokesman told BBC Sport: "The CGF has been made aware of an issue that took place in the women's tandem B sprint competition. We are investigating this to establish the clear facts around what has taken place."
