As reported in the national press, Team Sky seeks a replacement clinical director for Dr. Richard Freeman who is alleged to have been involved in the delivery of testosterone patches to the Manchester Head Quarters which Team Sky shared with British Cycling.
The Circumstances | Kangs Solicitors Regulatory Team
