Doping row continues

[Graham Breeze]

Not forgetting the Team Sky doctor Mr Freeman. That fella was ordering corticosteroids and testosterone like they were going out of fashion. Apparently he was prepared to give the BBC an interview into why British cycling was so good, until someone told him if he was well enough to give interviews to the BBC he was well enough to tell officials what was in the jiffy bag.

He declined. Said on second thoughts he was still a bit under the weather. Definitely a doctor who didn't deserve his place at medical school.

Allegedly Mr Sutton is going to admit to abusing the TUE system.

Hardly news but it does prompt two thoughts:

- would he have been so candid if he was still on the Sky payroll?

- and with reference to the reason for his departure off that payroll: if he lied about abusing certain lady riders why should he now be believed on the subject of TUEs?

(The answer might be connected to the first question).
