Following the adjournment, 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 by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service. "We continue to support the General Medical Council's work as historic questions need to be resolved."
