- Charges relate to ordering banned testosterone
- Freeman understood to have contested part of the charges
Richard Freeman, the former British Cycling and Team Sky chief doctor, is facing two UK Anti-Doping charges related to ordering banned testosterone, including possession of a prohibited substance and tampering.
Freeman, who has spent the past two years also fighting a General Medical Council allegation that he ordered 30 sachets of Testogel in 2011 to help dope a rider, was told the news in December but it emerged only on Friday yesterday. A charge of tampering would cover an attempt to subvert any aspect of doping control, including an investigation. Freeman is understood to have contested part of the charges, and has requested a hearing.
