[cite web|url=http://www.velonews.com/article/11970| title=Quinn relegated at world's scratch race| author=Andrew Hood| publisher=Velo News| date=March 31, 2007]Quinn took
USA Cycling to arbitration in aColorado Springs courtroom on July 9, 2008, after she was not selected as part of the squad for the2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing . She claimed thatSarah Hammer was selected in her place due to favouritism as Hammer is engaged to be married to the team coach, Andy Sparks. Although the court did not find in her favour, they did order USA Cycling to pay the costs as the actions of their coaches had caused legitimate doubt over the fairness of any rider being selected.
