into allegations of wrongdoing in british cycling has been hampered by either incomplete or non—existant medical records at the organisation. nicole sapstead was giving evidence to a government select committee who are themselves looking at the issue of doping in sport. we also heard from the cycling coach who delivered a medical package from the uk six years ago to sir bradley wiggins and his doctor in france. let's speak to our sports news correspondent richard conway who was following today's select committee session. richard, a lot of eyebrows raised at a few things said today, and that mystery package remains a mystery. it does. the first person to appear was assignment. he is to work for tea m was assignment. he is to work for team sky. he talked about how he had been asked to deliver the package to doctor freeman in france. he said that he went to the team sky british cycling headquarters in manchester. there was an envelope there. it was sealed and he took it over to france for them. in the midst of all that, this was difficult viewing for quite a few minutes today because he was put underforensically a few minutes today because he was put under forensically that the nation about if he knew what was in the package, his methods of transport, the trail by which it got to france, why he needed to be in a car. there were lots of difficult a nswe i’s. car. there were lots of difficult answers. we can pick it up here with simon cope being questioned. i've listened to the evidence today and i think you were stitched up. you've been left alone by people that may or may not have been former colleagues or friends. you are left ina colleagues or friends. you are left in a difficult position. do you feel that? yes. is there anything else would like to tell the committee? i've told you everything i know. i was told to take it by my employees. i was was told to take it by my employees. iwas ina was told to take it by my employees. i was in a precision by were

any job i could. do you think that your career was damaged? —— any job i could. do you think that your careerwas damaged? —— europe edition? he denies any wrongdoing. we heard from the culture that delivered it. not from the doctor that received the package. enough for uk anti—doping's nicole sapstead to say that the evidence of the doctor could be critical. yes, doctor freeman said that he said was not well enough to attend today. mps will be writing to him perhaps for submission evidence. the need for that became even clearer given the course of nicole sapstead evidence. she said that... she was very critical of british cycling and team sky. she said that there was no record keeping of medical substances that went in and out of the manchester velodrome. then she was unable to return, at this stage off—road investigation, if it was sealed or if it was a steroid. under certain circumstances, in certain methods of infusion, it can be deemed illegal because of performance enhancing benefits. there was some evidence that it was that drug. as you can hearfrom now, she was scathing as regards a deep lack of record—keeping. she was scathing as regards a deep lack of record-keeping. it isjust very clear that there is no orders “ no very clear that there is no orders —— no audit trail of what is going in and out of a comprehensive supply of medical products. what you're saying is potentially very serious. there are laws about the dispensing and administering of medicines. from what you were saying, doctor freeman is not complying with the guidelines. nor is british cycling. yes. yes. the minute i from there, he is the chair of the culture media and sport select committee. a little later on, we caught up with him and we as first reaction as what here today. —— as to what he heard today. we are trying to establish how british cycling and team sky administer the anti—doping policies. what we have heard today is that they don't. not to satisfaction. there is not proper records being kept. that should be at the heart of any good policy on anti—doping. it isa any good policy on anti—doping. it is a pretty damning indictment of the way that things have been won in
