Geraint Thomas has dismissed allegations that Team Sky has violated the UCI’s no-needles ban introduced in 2011.

Asked about the recent allegations made to UK Anti-Doping by an anonymous source described as “a Sky insider” that the team had given riders injections of Fluimicil and other substances to aid recovery, Thomas said, “It’s just a load of bull as far as I’m concerned. I’ve certainly not seen anything like that [at Team Sky].”
