Sports journalist Matt Lawton joined Off the Ball on Monday to discuss the latest developments on the Team Sky story.
The team came under scrutiny recently when the use of Theraputic Use Exemptions (TUE) over the years by their cyclists was revealed.
Lawton originally investigated a suspicious journey taken by British Cycling's Simon Cope, who travelled 600 miles to deliver over-the-counter medicine to Bradley Wiggins, in 2011.
Speaking on the issue Lawton said: "My first questions went into Team Sky via email, British Cycling and Bradley Wiggins' representative on the 22nd September (2016).

"And over the course of the weekend, I was contacted by an intermediary who said that Brailsford (Team Sky Principal) would be keen to sit down and meet me. And by the Saturday night, I was told to send Brailsford a text which I did, we had an exchange and we agreed to meet on the Tuesday.
"So he actually had five days to prepare for our meeting. I was also told that weekend that Simon Cope had told the same intermediary that he was in La Toussaire that day in 2011 to see Emma Pooley which is something I was able to check very quickly, wasn't the case.
The package that was flown over to Team Sky has now become the subject of intense speculation and Brailsford was called before a group of British MPs from a Culture, Media and Sport select committee.
Brailsford revealed at the hearing that the giffy bag contained fluimucil. Wiggins is an asthmatic but fluimucil, as Lawton pointed out, "it does say on the drug - not recommended for Asthmatics."

Fluimucil is available all over France and there were three or four pharmacies nearby where Wiggins could have picked it up.
Lawton said: "Basically what we have is a picture of Brailsford speaking to the driver, speaking to other members of staff, speaking to whoever but not speaking to (Doctor) Richard Freeman who appears to have been able to tell him that it was fluimucil.
"Two weeks passed between my first emails about June 12th 2011 and the publication of that story. He had two weeks to tell me it was fluimucil and I was barking up the wrong tree," he added.
Lawton continued: "if he had done that and just gone 'bang, there you go' given it was such an innocuous medication, there would be absolutely no problem. I'm quite certain Bradley Wiggins would have happily let them reveal that to me and show me the documentary evidence, if that existed.
"It would have stopped my in my tracks," he said.
The Daily Mail journalist concluded by noting that "Simon Cope gave an interview to cyclingnews.com in relation to his trip where he said: 'It was nothing to do with Brad.'"
Lawton added: "Today, both Brailsford and Shane Sutton both said "it was for Brad, it was administered to Brad in La Toussaire after the race but it was fluimucil."
