# Former cycling champion dies after alleged assault
|
||
|
||
## A former cycling champion has died after he was allegedly attacked in the
|
||
street.
|
||
|
||
12:28PM GMT 26 Mar 2011
|
||
|
||
Ray Eden, 42, won the national 100-mile time-trial cycling championship in
|
||
1995 at only his second attempt, and represented Great Britain four times in
|
||
stage racing.
|
||
|
||
The powerfully-built athlete was also a keen rower, devoted father and husband
|
||
and was described by a colleague as "big-hearted".
|
||
|
||
Mr Eden was left in a critical condition following an incident near his home
|
||
in Scawthorpe, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, at 7.30am on Friday March 18.
|
||
|
||
He died at Doncaster Royal Infirmary on Monday, having sustained serious head
|
||
injuries.
|
||
|
||
Mr Eden worked for cycle firm Planet X and the firm's joint owner Andy Brookes
|
||
told the Sheffield Star on Friday: "Everyone here is absolutely stunned.

"Ray was a big man, 6ft 2 ins tall, 16 stone, and all muscle. But most of all
|
||
he was kind and big hearted."
|
||
|
||
Mr Brookes said his broad-chested friend found he had a talent for cycling
|
||
while working as a bike courier in London.
|
||
|
||
Luke Jolly, 24, of Scawthorpe was charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm
|
||
before Mr Eden died, and will appear before Doncaster Crown Court again on
|
||
Tuesday.
