Further details about the dysfunction, inner workings, and contrasts between the medical and performance staffs of British Cycling and Team Sky were revealed at Friday's medical court hearing of Dr. Richard Freeman.

Phil Burt, who was head of physiotherapy at British Cycling from 2006 to 2018, suggested that Freeman faced "constant attrition" from Team Sky and British Cycling head coach Shane Sutton. It was also revealed that the package containing 30 bags of Testogel testosterone also contained other medications, including birth control pills and the asthma medication Montelukast.

Freeman was British Cycling's team physician and Team Sky's attending physician, working with seven other part-time doctors, with Steve Peters serving as clinical director at the time.

Freeman denies knowingly or believingly ordering testosterone gel in 2011 as something athletes use to improve performance. He claims that Sutton bullied him into ordering it to treat Sutton's erectile dysfunction.

Sutton denies both of these claims and lashed out at Freeman when he gave evidence in a Manchester courtroom on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Medical Director Steve Peters revealed details of Sutton's character and his conflict with Freeman. He became embroiled in the test-gel scandal when Freeman lied about a package being sent to him in error, but offered little explanation as to why the package was delivered.

"I have a man (Freeman) who lied and a man (Sutton) I don't trust. I feel like I am being asked to solve a crime," Peters said Thursday.

On Friday, Burt further revealed Sutton's treatment of Freeman, recalling that their relationship deteriorated after Sutton refused to pay Freeman for his return from Colombia following a family bereavement.

"Richard thought it was reasonable to accept compensation and Shane said no. The Guardian and the BBC reported on Burt's testimony.

Burt said after the incident that "their relationship had reached a really bad point."

"Richard was in the hallway and Shane Sutton said, 'The doctor looks skinny.

Burt also suggested that Sutton had accused him and Freeman of bullying track rider Jess Varnish over allegations that he was being bullied.

Burt said that he and Sutton often had "difficult conversations" and veiled threats, but that he stood up for himself and was never bullied.

Burt also revealed that he opened medical supplies that were delivered to the Manchester velodrome. That led to the discovery of the test gel order.

"If it was in his name and he was going to attend, I would have given it to him. There may have been things I didn't want to know," Burt said.

When asked about this statement during cross-examination by the General Medical Council, which is accusing Freeman, Burt clarified: "What I meant was that I don't want to understand what he got and what it was for, but I had no problem opening something and giving him the rest It is."

On Thursday, Freeman's lawyer said that the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra was "regularly ordered from the velodrome, and that he had no problem with that.

There was also confusion that the medical package that arrived with the test gel also contained Viagra.

On Friday, O'Rourke said that was not the case. There were five items on the invoice, including the test gel. The other medications were several packets of birth control pills, an asthma medication (montelukast), an acne cleanser, and an antihistamine (valoid).

The trial will continue next Wednesday.
