Richard Freeman, the ex-chief doctor of Team Sky and British Cycling, has received a four-year doping ban due to his possession of a prohibited substance and his lying when questioned by UK Anti-Doping officials.
In 2021, Freeman was struck off from the medical register due to his involvement in ordering thirty sachets of prohibited testosterone to the National Cycling Centre. It was determined that he knowingly or believed that the substance was intended for an undisclosed rider to enhance their performance.
