Under-fire Team Sky have issued a staunch defense of their medical procedures after a UK Anti-Doping investigation into wrongdoing in British cycling found holes in their record- keeping. While admitting mistakes had been made in connection with a mystery package at the center of a controversy surrounding the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine, team principal Dave Brailsford said they were "process failures" rather than "wrongdoing". Last week UK Anti-Doping chief executive Nicola Sapstead, giving an update to MPs on an investigation into allegations of wrongdoing in British Cycling and Team Sky, said no proof had been provided that the package ordered by former team doctor Richard Freeman in 2011 was the legal decongestant Fluimucil.
