Team Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford admits his errors fanned the flames of controversy over allegations of wrongdoing but has again insisted those allegations are false.UK Anti-Doping is investigating after the Daily Mail reported Team Sky and Sir Bradley Wiggins were under scrutiny over a package delivered to Brailsfords squad at the June 2011 Criterium du Dauphine race in France.Brailsford says he provided a running commentary of his personal fact-finding mission, which contained errors, but will not disclose what was in the package. He insisted Team Sky had the support of parent company Sky and there was no suggestion he would resign over the matter.Brailsford incorrectly stated that Simon Cope, who was then British Cycling womens team manager and the courier of the package, had travelled to the Alps to visit Emma Pooley, when she was in fact racing in the Basque country in Spain.Another error was the claim Wiggins could not have been on the Team Sky bus at La Toussuire as it had already left, but video footage subsequently showed it was there.I dont think Ive handled the situation as well as I couldve done and probably made it a damn sight worse than it needed to be, Brailsford, the British Cycling performance director until April 2014, told the Cycling Podcast.From what was a small little fire, if you like, I have inadvertently thrown a huge amount of petrol on it. And two and two equals 10 now.I incorrectly spoke about Emma Pooley. I also said [about] the bus. Thats compounded the whole situation.It looks like there is something strange going on here when it turns out that there isnt. I have looked at this allegation and I can find no wrongdoing.Were not cheating. Were not doing anything wrong here. The one thing I know about Team Sky is that this is a clean team.If I didnt think we were doing it the right way I wouldnt be doing it.Team Sky, launched with a zero-tolerance policy to doping in 2010, strongly refute allegations of wrongdoing and are co-operating with the UKAD investigation which Wiggins has also welcomed. British Cycling is also co-operating.Brailsford has determined what was in the package, which Cope says was a Jiffy bag to be delivered to Dr Richard Freeman, who was then the Team Sky doctor and now at British Cycling.But Brailsford is not prepared to reveal the packages contents and prefers that the UKAD investigation can take place, so his team can be exonerated by an independent third party.I can tell you my interpretation and what I find out here, but its not going to be sufficient for most people, he added. I dont think it helps at this moment in time to say it was x.What people want is an independent view. And that is what we are going to get with the UK Anti-Doping investigation, which is why I absolutely welcome it.In terms of my particular investigation and gathering of the facts... I cant see any wrongdoing.However, I think its important this is put to an independent third party who can interview everybody and go through and determine if there was a wrongdoing or not.The investigation has followed a furore around Wiggins seeking and receiving permission to use an otherwise banned substance ahead of three of his biggest races on medical grounds, including the 2012 Tour de France when he became the first British winner.Data stolen by hackers from files held by the World Anti-Doping Agency showed Wiggins received three therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) for the anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone -- a substance which has a history of abuse in cycling -- on the eve of the 2011 and 2012 Tours de France and 2013 Giro dItalia.Wiggins and Brailsford have strenuously denied any wrongdoing, insisting each time the TUEs were medically necessary to deal with a pollen allergy that aggravates Wiggins long-standing asthma condition.The TUEs also had the approval of the UCI, cyclings world governing body, and there is no suggestion that Wiggins, who left Team Sky in April 2015, or the team, have broken any rules.Some have accused Team Sky of abusing the TUE system, something Brailsford strongly denies. He pointed to the fact that Team Sky have had 13 TUEs in seven seasons.Brailsford added: If youre taking medication when you havent got a need, and you are doing it purely for performance enhancement reasons, then thats not the line, thats beyond the line in my opinion.Former Team Sky rider Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has alleged powerful and controversial painkiller tramadol was being offered freely around the Great Britain team at the 2012 Road World Championships. Tramadol is on WADAs monitoring list.Brailsford insisted he was not aware of tramadol -- and a number of other substances -- being used without a medical need.Brailsford, who said he would stop such systematic use, said: I very much trust our medical staff to stick within the WADA code and do the right thing. But is it being abused? Absolutely not. Walker Zimmerman Jersey . Boucher previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning and had a 97-78-20 record over two-plus seasons.

MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. For Harry Kewell, a rare bit of reflection has unearthed just how tough a road there is to acceptance.Acceptance that for all youve achieved, there could have been more.Acceptance that not everyone likes you.And acceptance that therell be plenty of tough days to come, given his stated desire to progress from his current role as under 21 coach for Watford to mentor at the highest level in Europe.But acceptance is where Kewell, 38, has landed at long last.It wasnt always so for the man voted Australias greatest ever Socceroo, who had a tumultuous relationship with fans and media over the course of a glittering two-decade long career.His move into coaching seems to have mellowed the European Champions League and FA Cup winner, who has spent the week being feted for his achievements.Kewell insists hes not one ordinarily to look back.But its hard to avoid when youve received one of the greatest prizes your sport can offer.In Melbourne on Tuesday, Kewell became the seventh player to be awarded the Alex Tobin Medal, presented by Professional Footballers Australia for an outstanding overall contribution to the game.The list of recipients - the late Johnny Warren, Joe Marston, Craig Johnston, Mark Viduka, Frank Farina and Mark Schwarzer - shows the elite company that Kewell has joined.Kewell said reminiscing over his career could be painful.Im a believer that youve got to enjoy the good times because there are not that many in life, he said.The bad stuff - especially now - helps me get through when I am having bad days. I remember I have been in worse conditions and Ive survived.Theres no prizes for guessing that its Kewells various injuries that bring him the most pain to recall.Ankle, hamstring, abductor, adductor, concussion, neck, toe, knee, thigh, and back issues all brought lengthy lay-offs across 18 professional seasons.And then theres the infamous but implausible diagnosis of gout - later changed to a form of arthritis in his ankle - that prematurely ended his 2006 World Cup.Missing big occasions brought criticism and abuse and contributed to a downward spiral that at times brought him to tears.The bottom of the world is when youre sitting on the end of the bed crying, and youre going am I ever going to play again?, he saaid.ddddddddddddYoure sitting there going whats wrong with me?Every time Im kicking, Im ripping a muscle. Every time Im turning, Im breaking down.I get back. I work hard for four weeks and I break down again.The pressure of people that keep going whats wrong with me. Its not like the worlds ending - but its your career.Kewell nominated his five injury-plagued seasons at Liverpool as the toughest stretch, and the European Champions League final as the worst moment.Ive had 14 operations and the majority were at Liverpool, he said.It was a nightmare. An absolute nightmare.Youd have an operation and you think thats it, thats finished now. Im going to be brand new again.It doesnt happen.An injury is like a jigsaw puzzle. You fix one area and something else goes.Kewell was substituted 23 minutes into the Champions League decider, eventually won on penalties after a comeback from 3-0 down against AC Milan.I put it all in to be at the highest level possible ... as an Australian player the European Cup final is the biggest level you can ever reach, he said.I got to achieve that only for it to come crashing down.You just want to fight, you just want to be there for your team and get their backs. But my groin snapped.So why is Kewell happy to talk candidly about his darkest days now, two years after he called time on his career?This is probably going to sound stupid. But you probably dont want to show weakness, he confesses.Ive accepted it. Its hard to accept when youre playing.Theres a lot of players out there going through the same kind of problems. Top quality players.People are hammering them and Im going its not actually him, you dont want to be injured but sometimes you cant get out of that cycle.While Kewell seems to have accepted his lot, hes also recognising the guiding forces in his career.And theres one he keeps returning to: his family.When things like that break you, youve got to find something inside you to get back.Ive got a strong family behind me. My wifes very strong. She got me through it.My kids are a big part too. People talk about winning premierships, theyre my four titles there. ' ' '
