Shane Sutton, former head coach of Team Sky and British Cycling, left the medical courtroom of Dr. Richard Freeman on Tuesday afternoon.

Freeman has already accepted 18 of the 22 charges against him, including ordering 30 bags of banned substance test gel and lying to UK Anti-Doping in an attempt to cover it up.

However, he denies the charges formally made by the UK General Medical Council that he did so knowing that the Testogel order was for an unnamed athlete to take a trace amount of testosterone.

Freeman's lawyers claim that the test gels were for Sutton, who allegedly bullied Freeman into ordering the pills for his personal use to treat erectile dysfunction. Sutton denied having erectile dysfunction. He claimed that he had never heard of Test Gel until this incident was reported.

"Our allegation about Mr. Sutton is that he is a habitual and serial liar," O'Rourke said, justifying why he felt direct cross-examination of Sutton was necessary, according to The Guardian and other media reports.

"He is a doper with a history of doping."

Sutton quickly fired back when O'Rourke made another accusation. She claimed that an anonymous witness had told her about vials of testosterone in Sutton's home refrigerator in the late 1990s. Sutton denied all accusations.

"You call me a liar, but you don't even know me. I just think you are completely out of line. You don't know me, and you should have an apology," Sutton said at the hearing.

"I'm ready to take the lie detector test. Who is lying?' This is a man who is not prepared to look his friend in the eye. This is the man who came to the hospital when I had a brain hemorrhage for no reason. To me, he is a bloody good doctor and friend," Sutton said of Freeman.

When O'Rourke told Sutton that he had instructed Freeman to order a test gel, Sutton said: "Who's lying? I am sorry, but you are lying through your back teeth. I can look you in the eye and swear on my three-year-old daughter's life.

When pursued about the erectile dysfunction allegations, Sutton reportedly fired back: "My wife wants to testify that you are a bloody liar."

Shortly thereafter, when O'Rourke continued to question Sutton further, he exploded in anger and left.

"I waited two days to come here. I came here and told the truth. I came here and told the truth. You have accused me of everything. I'm leaving now. I don't have to go through this shitty fight," Sutton reportedly said, attacking Freeman, who was sitting near him, but was deemed a weak witness and put behind a screen.

"The head of BC wanted him out, and he came to work drunk on more than one occasion, like Scarlett Pimpernel. When I couldn't reach him, there were two key incidents."

"I was told that he had been in the office for two years."

"You're a wimp," Sutton told Freeman.

Speaking to the media outside the courtroom, Sutton said he would consider returning Thursday to present more evidence.

Later that day, the court heard that the tabloid Daily Mail had granted Sutton's request to submit a secret affidavit that O'Rourke claimed was "totally inconsistent" with the evidence he submitted to a 2017 British Parliament inquiry into doping in sport. We were told.

O'Rourke claimed that the document had been placed in the newspaper's editor-in-chief's safe as "insurance against possible libel claims by Sir Bradley Wiggins, Freeman and Sir Dave Brailsford" and that it contained "many lies."
