CASEY STONEY vented her frustration yesterday over the continued interference of politics in sport and the refusal to enter a women’s GB team at the 2016 Olympics.

Stoney was part of the England team which finished third at the World Cup in Canada, a feat which qualified them for the Olympics next year.

But Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland’s continued reluctance to participate means that Stoney is highly unlikely to get another chance of leading a team out in Rio.
