Live blog: Jiffy Bag probe MP fears “concerted effort” to stop ex-Team Sky doc Richard Freeman giving evidence, OUCHY! Cattle grid vid with MacAskill, Olympic champ rower turned cyclist heads back to the water, inspirational quotes + more

Conservative MP Damian Collins says questions need to be asked over why the medical tribunal into former British Cycling and Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman has been adjourned.

He told BBC Sport: "We should be concerned that there is a concerted effort to make sure that Dr Freeman never has to give evidence, and we should rightly question why that might be the case."

It's a sentence that lends itself to much reading between the lines.

Collins chairs the House of Commons Select Committee on Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, which as part of its 2017-18 inquiry into doping in sport focused on Team Sky, British Cycling and Freeman following the disclosure of Therapeutic Use Exemptions to 2012 Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins plus the contents of thee Jiffy Bag delivered to the doctor at the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine.

The committee's report was highly critical of Freeman, who missed a scheduled appearance before it to give evidence citing ill-health, and recommended that he be investigated by the General Medical Council.

Here's a rarity - a politician who really gets cycling, as well as how increasing public transport provision and limiting private car use makes cities safer, nicer and fairer places to live.

The website shitenriquesays.com contains a series of inspirational quotes from Enrique Peñalosa, the mayor of Colombia's capital, Bogota.

An expert in transport policy, he was re-elected in 2015 and during his first spell as mayor from 1998-2001 began the city's extensive cycle path network.

Here is a selection of some of his quotes - you will find many more here.

British Cycling says it is “extremely disappointed” that the tribunal into its former doctor Richard Freeman, who also worked at Team Sky, has been adjourned and is now unlikely to take place until next year – if at all.

The doctor, who resigned from the governing body in 2017, citing ill health, is charged by the General Medical Council (GMC) on several counts relating to the delivery of testosterone patches to the National Cycling Centre in 2011 – most seriously, that he ordered them for the use of an unnamed athlete.

Freeman, who denies the allegations, was due to appear at a medical tribunal in Manchester last month, but the hearing was delayed due to preliminary arguments understood to relate to his mental health.

Yesterday, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service said: “The case will be re-listed and heard by a new tribunal in due course.”

A GMC spokesperson, quoted on BBC Sport, said: “It is frustrating that this case has not yet got under way.

"We remain ready to open our case in public and hope we will be permitted to do so as soon as possible."

British Cycling said: "It is in the public interest and in the best interests of the sport that the allegations against Dr Richard Freeman are heard and examined openly by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service.

"British Cycling is a co-referrer in this case and we will continue to support the General Medical Council's work as there remain historic questions to be answered."
