LONDON (Reuters) - Under-fire Team Sky have issued a staunch defence of their medical procedures after a UK Anti-Doping investigation into wrongdoing in British cycling found holes in their record- keeping.

While admitting mistakes had been made in connection with a mystery package at the centre of a controversy surrounding the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine, team principal Dave Brailsford said they were "process failures" rather than "wrongdoing".
