- Former British Cycling doctor says he ‘never discussed doping’
- Dr Freeman tells tribunal: ‘We were a clean team’
Dr Richard Freeman has claimed he was unaware of testosterone’s performance-enhancing qualities around the time he ordered the prohibited substance nine years ago.
The former former British Cycling and Team Sky doctor has admitted 18 of the 22 charges against him, which include ordering 30 sachets of testosterone gels to the National Cycling Centre in May 2011 and lying about it to British Cycling and UK Anti-Doping. He denies the General Medical Council’s central charge of “knowing or believing” the Testogel was to be given to a rider to aid their performance, declaring at the time he had been ignorant of the advantages the drug can have.
