The inquiry into the controversy involving Bradley Wiggins "may be hamstrung after it emerged that the doctor at the centre of the allegations is not obliged to reveal the contents of a medical package delivered to the rider" in '11, according to Martyn Ziegler of the LONDON TIMES. Dr. Richard Freeman "does not have to disclose his dealings with the rider" that have led to UK Anti-Doping launching an investigation. It is understood that Freeman has "not told figures at the top of British Cycling of the exact contents of the package" and UKAD has confirmed that it has no "regulatory authority" to compel him to tell its investigators either. UKAD is "trying to persuade the government to give investigators more powers, but, at the moment, any doctor can insist that they respect patient confidentiality." Freeman, while a doctor with Team Sky, helped Wiggins to apply for the three therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) before big races in '11, '12 and '13, and he is also "understood to have administered the injections of triamcinolone, the powerful corticosteroid." The UKAD investigation centers on the delivery of a medical package to Wiggins in '11 at the end of the Critérium du Dauphiné -- Freeman is "believed to have taken delivery of the parcel." Team Sky has "denied any wrongdoing" (LONDON TIMES, 10/11).
