Sports minister Tracey Crouch has said Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford will be asked some extremely important questions about a mystery package that is the subject of a UK Anti-Doping investigation when he is quizzed by MPs on Monday.Brailsford is one of six witnesses appearing before the Culture, Media and Sport select committee in Westminster on Monday as part of its long-running inquiry into sports fight against doping.The committee will ask Brailsford about star rider Sir Bradley Wiggins therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) -- which are essentially doctors notes to allow athletes to use medicine that would otherwise be banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency -- and the package which was delivered to Team Sky by a British Cycling employee at the end of a key pre-Tour de France race in 2011.Leaked WADA documents revealed in September that Wiggins was granted TUEs to use the powerful corticosteroid triamcinolone before his three biggest races in 2011, 2012 and 2013, including his famous 2012 Tour de France victory.And in October, the Daily Mail reported a claim that a Jiffy bag containing triamcinolone was delivered to Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman, who now works for British Cycling, by the then-GB womens team manager and academy coach Simon Cope at the final stage of the 2011 Dauphine Libere.Shortly after this allegation was reported, UKAD announced it was investigating alleged wrongdoing at Team Sky and cyclings national governing body, with its investigators visiting the pairs headquarters in Manchester, taking documents and interviewing all relevant witnesses.Brailsford, British Cycling, Cope, Freeman and Wiggins have strongly denied breaking any anti-doping rules but nobody has revealed the contents of the package, despite Brailsford and British Cycling saying it was not triamcinolone, which Wiggins would not have been allowed to take at that time.Speaking to BBC 5 Lives Sportsweek programme on Sunday morning, Crouch said she would be following the committee hearing with great interest as she believes it is really important all sports are completely transparent about their anti-doping practices to ensure fans can have faith in sport.If we want to continue to be successful in cycling, and to encourage more people to participate in cycling, it is important that [the witnesses] are transparent in the answers they give, said Crouch.When asked if Brailsford should simply tell the MPs what was in the package, Crouch said that was up to him and it would be wrong of her to prejudge the UKAD investigation.But the minister added: [Brailsford] will be asked some extremely important questions and he will have to justify himself and his actions, and its not for me as sports minister to say otherwise.Mondays hearing, which can be watched live on the UK Parliament website, will be broken up into two sessions.The first, which starts at 11.15am, will feature British Cycling president Bob Howden, the chair of the governing bodys ethics commission Dr George Gilbert, former British Cycling technical director and Team Sky coach Shane Sutton and Brailsford.Howden and Gilbert will appear together and are likely to be asked about the circumstances in which TUEs are applied for and granted within the GB set-up, and British Cyclings wider anti-doping work, particularly with reference to amateur cycling.Sutton, who coached Wiggins throughout much of the riders career and has intimate knowledge of the relationship between British Cycling and Team Sky, is scheduled to appear at noon, with Brailsford due at 12.30pm.The second session, which starts at 3pm, will feature WADA president Sir Craig Reedie and the Montreal-based agencys director general Olivier Niggli and will be a more general discussion about the current issues in anti-doping.In a statement, the committees chairman Damian Collins MP said: It is important that sports follow the letter and spirit of the anti-doping code.We want to understand more about the ethics of the use of TUEs and the way Team Sky and British Cycling police the anti-doping rules.We will also be questioning Sir Craig Reedie about the resources available to WADA to monitor doping abuse around the world, and in particular in sports like cycling and athletics.We are keen to understand more from WADA about its investigation into doping in Russia, the involvement and support of the Russian government for this, the progress he feels Russia still needs to make, and the role of international sporting organisations like the International Olympic Committee, the IAAF and the UCI, in promoting and safeguarding clean sport.The panel of 11 MPs has been looking closely at this topic since 2015 when the Sunday Times published a series of articles on allegations of widespread doping in athletics and the failure of the relevant authorities to deal with it.Mondays hearing follows earlier sessions with Lord Coe, the president of athletics world governing body the IAAF, and UKAD chairman David Kenworthy, to name just two, that were memorable for the panels forensic questioning and the MPs use of parliamentary privilege to air allegations that journalists are often prevented from reporting because of libel laws.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The alarm rings at 4:30 a.m., but only for a split-second. Tom Thibodeau has been wide awake for the last eight minutes, waiting for the buzzer to go off.He unplugs himself from the matrix, where he has spent the last four hours downloading video of Rick Carlisles push offense, all 722 of Russell Westbrooks pick-and-rolls last season and diagrams of Gregg Popovichs plays after a timeout straight into his brain.Or so goes the caricature of the NBAs ultimate grinder, a reputation that has morphed from reality to apocryphal over Thibodeaus three decades in the league. The snarling, growling, basketball savant so consumed by the game there seems to be little room for anything else in his life.I think thats sort of the way it is today, Thibodeau said with a hearty laugh. You get put in some type of box. Im like everybody else. There are a lot of other things that I enjoy doing also.Thibodeau insists hes more than the basketball junkie that people cast him to be. In addition to visiting teams during his sabbatical last year, he also saw his family over the holidays for the first time in recent memory, took trips to Napa and St. Thomas and watched the occasional movie. He loves U2 and Bruce Springsteen and relishes a great meal with good company.But now that the season is here, its time to work.The Timberwolves brought him back to Minnesota -- the place his NBA coaching career began 27 years ago -- with the hope he can galvanize a promising young roster and end an interminable 12-year playoff drought. He arrived in Minneapolis in 1989 as a mullet-wearing, 31-year-old making the jump from Harvard. He returns as a 58-year-old coaching veteran, empowered by owner Glen Taylor as coach and president of basketball operations.Im never going to apologize for working hard, Thibodeau said. I just dont believe in that. I believe that when you make a commitment to do something, put everything you have into it every single day and then you let the chips fall where they may. Its worked well for me.His ability to balance the patience it takes to construct the long-term vision he has for the organization with the win-at-all-costs mentality that made him a success with the Chicago Bulls will be crucial to the downtrodden franchises ability to pull out of the abyss.In some ways this is similar to when I took over in Chicago, when Derrick (Rose) was 22 and Joakim (Noah) was 25, he said. But how you pace the team, I think thats one of the biggest challenges for a head coach.That Bulls team went 62-20 -- a 21-game improvement over the previous season -- and lost in the Eastern Conference finals. In MMinnesota, he takes over a team that won just 29 games, but boasts a treasure trove of young talent including Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine.ddddddddddddI think hes going to be great for the city, great for these young guys, said Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale, who along with Thibodeau is among the 10 new coaches in the league this season. Hes going to make them into a serious threat in the West.In his first month coaching this team, there have been signs of the old and new Thibodeau. His practices are long and intense, but he has granted several days off for rest and even gave the entire starting lineup the night off on the second night of a back-to-back last weekend.He is hilariously profane while storming up and down the sideline, but also laughs uncontrollably and cracks jokes while presiding as judge and jury over a competitive shooting drill in practice.Hes tough. But at the end of the day, this is our job. This is our profession, said guard John Lucas III, who played for Thibodeau in Chicago. This is what we do. All he asks of you is give him 100 percent. Take no possessions off. Help each other. Leave nobody on an island. Have your teammates back. And thats the culture were trying to build here.Its an all-business culture cultivated by Thibodeau and GM Scott Layden. The demands made of players here in the past -- meeting with corporate sponsors or season ticket holders to try to spur interest in the team -- have been significantly reduced to allow them to focus on basketball.Hotels on the road have been upgraded and trips home in between spaced-out road games have been eliminated to give the team more bonding time.And after a messy exit from Chicago plagued by mistrust between the coaching staff and front office, Thibodeau has established a unified management front in Minnesota. During big news conferences, he and Layden sit side by side. And Thibodeau has followed the lead of several other head coaches around the league by not permitting his assistants to do interviews with the media, an effort to make sure there is one message being delivered.Its all part of his mission to build a championship foundation in an organization that has advanced out of the first round of the playoffs one time in its 28-year history.I love the game so its not work to me, he said. I enjoy being part of a group and the camaraderie of being with a team. And I love the competition.---Follow Jon Krawczynski on Twitter: http://twitter.com/APKrawczynski Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
