Dr Richard Freeman absent from tribunal after ‘adverse reaction’ to Shane Sutton’s testimony
Written by News on 14/11/2019
Dr Richard Freeman will not be present at his medical tribunal on Thursday or Friday after responding badly to evidence given by Shane Sutton on Tuesday.
Freeman’s defence counsel Mary O’Rourke has said that he suffered an “adverse reaction to what happened on Tuesday afternoon” when Sutton was questioned.
Former British Cycling and Team Sky head coach Sutton repeatedly called upon Freeman “to be a man” and “look him in the eye” and “tell the truth”.
Dr Freeman denies a charge from the General Medical Council that he ordered testosterone gel knowing or believing that it was for use by an athlete to enhance performance, and instead claims it was ordered at the behest of Sutton, to treat his erectile dysfunction.
