Veitch under fire for 'golliwog' comment
Veitch was interviewing James Blake - who is coming to Auckland for next month's Heineken Open - on Friday, when he asked why the popular player had cut off his dreadlocks.
"You were the world's ultimate golliwog . . . now look at you, you're bald," Veitch said on his Radio Sport breakfast show.
Radio Sport is owned by the Radio Network, home to Newstalk ZB, which came under attack last year when Paul Holmes called United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan a "cheeky darkie".
