Dr. Richard Freeman's tribunal will reconvene from October 6 through November 26 under the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS). The hearing that is assessing whether the former British Cycling and Team Sky doctor is fit to practice medicine was adjourned on medical grounds in December.

Freeman has admitted to 18 of 22 charges brought by the General Medical Council (GMC), including the ordering a shipment of Testogel, a substance that is banned both in and out of competition, that was delivered to British Cycling and Team Sky headquarters in Manchester in 2011.
