Shane Sutton: 'British Cycling will be cleared of wrongdoing'

Shane Sutton, the former technical director of British Cycling, believes that the organisation will be cleared of wrongdoing once 'the truth comes out'.

The former technical director of British Cycling has said that he is confident the organisation will be exonerated over allegations of wrongdoing.

An investigation by UK Anti-Doping is underway following claims of riders being given medication ahead of major races.

Shane Sutton, who left British Cycling in April due to allegations of sexism, is hopeful that both he and the cycling governing body will be found not guilty of wrongdoing in the coming weeks.

"The success is built off evidence-based programmes and the evidence will come out," he told BBC Sport. "Our record at British Cycling speaks for itself and our record at [Team] Sky is brilliant - they have endorsed clean cycling from day one.

"I am strong in the belief that we have a great leader in Sir Dave Brailsford and, from a clean sport perspective, he has been a great enforcer - so let the truth come out and let's move on."

Of his own decision to resign earlier this year, Sutton told The Telegraph: "As I've said all along, I am confident that I will be cleared of any wrongdoing. And if I am, I'd like to think they would ask me to reconsider my resignation."

Ian Drake announced on Friday that he will step down as chief executive of British Cycling in April following a seven-year spell.
