The four-year ban was effective from December 22, 2020 — the date when UKAD provisionally suspended Freeman and charged him with the commission of anti-doping rule violations. Freeman, who was found guilty of ordering 30 sachets of banned testosterone gel for an unidentified rider in 2011, has been permanently struck off the medical register after losing an appeal last January.
In a 2017 interview, Freeman said he ordered the gel for a "non-riding" member of British Cycling staff but claimed he had returned it to the supplier for destruction.
