An independent tribunal was “comfortably satisfied” that Freeman intended to make prohibited substances available to one or more of his athletes, as UK Anti-Doping handed him a four-year-ban from all sport
, the former Team Sky and British Cycling doctor at the centre of a lengthy storm concerning alleged doping on both teams, has been banned from all sports for four years for violating its rules by taking possession of Testogel for unnamed riders, as well as lying to UKAD.
Testogel is a prescription-only medication that contains the banned substance testosterone which, under the UK Anti-Doping Rules, is prohibited at all times. Each of the violations proved by UKAD in its proceedings before the independent National Anti-Doping Panel concern this Testogel delivery.
The first Tampering violation concerned Freeman knowingly providing UKAD with false information that the Testogel had been returned to the supplier. The second Tampering violation concerned Freeman knowingly providing UKAD with false information that he had written to a non-rider member of staff requesting that they waive patient confidentiality and claiming that they had refused to do so.
