New twist in the farcical medical tribunal of ex Br Cycling / Team Sky doc Richard Freeman. After 3 weeks of preliminary legal argument, a new application has now been raised - so the previous application has been put on hold. A case scheduled to end next Tue still hasn’t started
The case now goes back to the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service for re-listing, and will start from scratch with an entirely new panel.

the physiological circumstances under which a 2kg stool is produced I would warrant
apparently MPTS ruled that decisions on applications can't be made public so as not to influence new tribunal. But think we can all agree it looks terrible.
Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee chairman Damian Collins said it meant questions needed to be asked.
Freeman also failed to appear in front of a DCMS committee hearing in 2016.

"We should be concerned that there is a concerted effort to make sure that Dr Freeman never has to give evidence, and we should rightly question why that might be the case," Collins told BBC Sport.
