Former British Cycling doctor Richard Freeman found guilty by medical tribunal
Freeman was found to have ordered testosterone “knowing or believing it was to be administered to an athlete to improve their athletic performance”.
Former Team Sky and British Cycling medic Dr Richard Freeman ordered testosterone knowing or believing it was to be given to a rider for the purposes of doping, a tribunal has found.
Dr Freeman admitted 18 of 22 charges against him relating to the ordering of a package of Testogel to British Cycling headquarters in 2011 but denied the central charge regarding its purpose.
After a hearing lasting more than two years, decisions on the contested charges were issued by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service on Friday.
The tribunal also determined it had been proved that the motive for Dr Freeman’s actions was to conceal his conduct.
The one charge that was found to be not proved was that Dr Freeman knew the Testogel was not clinically indicated for Sutton.
It was announced last month that Dr Freeman is also facing two UK Anti-Doping charges relating to the ordering of the testosterone.
Several of the charges related to an interview the medic gave to UKAD in 2017 where he subsequently admitted he had lied.
