both wiggins and team sky refute the allegations. former olympic track cycling champion victoria pendleton gave her reaction to the report. i must admit, when i saw it, my heart did think. i'd like to kind of believe it's not true and until there is any concrete evidence or proof, i'd like to be really optimistic about the fact that the tea m optimistic about the fact that the team have not crossed any boundaries. but we can't help but... there's going to be some kind of knock on effect through these kinds of allegations or any kind of cycling scandal. elswhere in the report, lord coe has also been accused of giving misleading answers regarding his knowledge of corruption in russian athletics, but the reputation to cycling would seem to be most damaged. let's speak to our sports correspodnent david ornsetin at the national cycling centre in manchester. good afternoon, david. cycling says it has its house in order regarding medical record—keeping which is about the only failure that they have accepted. is there anything more from th

former team, team sky, the purpose of which they say was not always to treat medical need improve performance. that is something both sir bradley wiggins and the team refute. the report says they crossed the ethical line. the head of the team must take responsibility. but this report goes much further than cycling. they said the heading of sebastian kurz‘s reports was not genuine. the report also says of shock at the injection ofa drug also says of shock at the injection of a drug given to sir mo farah before the london marathon in 2014. while it is not a banned substance there are strict conditions. the cycling, already suffering from a series of lows, today's report will be most damaging. plenty more to come in breakfast. dan walker and louise minchin will have all the day's news, business and sport. this is the briefing from bbc news. the latest headlines: no out—right winner in italy's general election, but the anti—establishment five star movement says it holds the balance of power. new research shows that australia could become the first country in the world to eradicate cervical

the fact team sky have not ke pt ban tues? the fact team sky have not kept records... i mean how do you react to the fact there are no records? apparently bradley wiggins' information was on a laptop that got stolen. that is very convenient, and very convenient records were not ke pt very convenient records were not kept and we are told team sky and british cycling are not sharing staff or personnel but they are still sharing the same building. they are both working out of the national cycling centre so there's a direct conflict of interest.” national cycling centre so there's a direct conflict of interest. i want to ask about mo farah, mps found he was given a drug before the 2014 london marathon. what you think about the doctor did according to the mp report? bradley wiggins is correct about one thing, neither him nor mo farah had tested positive for drugs in sport and the report go so much further than what we are hearing about today. it goes to the court of the governance of the iaaf, the way the organisation is directed and controlled. we know the record—keepi

bradley wiggins and team sky are accused in a damning drug support. yes, this is a dcms report, select committee enquiry into this and they have made the case that this is not a violation of world and you don't thing policy but it is crossing in ethical line, actually so crossing in ethical line, actually so dave brailsford, and was the leader of team sky, set out at the start of this project that they would be whiter than white, they would be whiter than white, they would not do anything that would bring it the sport into disrepute. this is tarnishing that amazing support that he, sir bradley wiggins and team sky have had. they had their right to reply on this, let's see what they say. thank you very much for your time. y too for your company on the briefing. we will see very soon. hello. thanks forjoining me. ijust want to bring you right up—to—date with how we see the next week of weather for the british isles. given the extent and the severity of the conditions that we endured last week, no great surprise if i tell you that the snow‘s not ju

team sky said it "strongly refutes" the report's "claim that medication has been used by the team to enhance performance." we are going to be hearing a lot more about pay transparency — and notjust here at the bbc. uk companies will soon have to publish their gender pay gaps — the gap between the average pay of men and women. there are thousands still to cough up their numbers. andjre there,other,, like the icy waters around stockholm's archipelago, openness is inherently swedish. the right to freely seek information is written into the constitution. it's known as ‘offentlighetsprincipen‘ — the public access principle. it's about a month until uk companies with over 250 people had to have published their gender pay gap. that's the gap between the average pay of men and women. it's different from equal pay, which is whether men and women are paid the same for doing the same or similarjobs, but it is a step towards pay transparency. here in sweden, it's a bit easier. you can request pay information through trade unions or equality watchdogs and companies have to carry out a f
