British Cycling lead physiotherapist and Team Sky consultant Phil Burt has refused to confirm or deny whether he put together the controversial package that was flown out to Team Sky and their physician Dr Richard Freeman on the June 12, 2011.
Simon Cope, who flew at Team Sky's request to Geneva and then drove to the finish of the final stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné to deliver what British Cycling have confirmed as a medical package, told Cyclingnews that the envelope and the contents may have come from Burt.
"It came from British Cycling. Phil Burt. Either he gave it to me or someone from the office did. I can't really remember. I also took them some spare clothes."

Cyclingnews printed an exclusive interview with Cope on Tuesday evening but refrained from using Burt's name in to give him the right to reply.
Burt sent a statement exclusively to Cyclingnews via the British Cycling press office. We had asked if he had put the medical package together and what the contents contained. His response neither confirmed nor denied Cope's version of events, instead choosing to focus on the UK Anti-Doping investigation into both British Cycling and Team Sky that was launched last week.
"I am happily and fully co-operating with the UKAD investigation and look forward to their report. To respect the integrity of their investigation I will not be commenting further."
