Emma Pooley says it was 'at best silly and careless' of Team Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford to guess at her whereabouts when questioned over a medical package.

The Daily Mail reported on Thursday that UK Anti-Doping was investigating Team Sky and Sir Bradley Wiggins over the contents of a package allegedly delivered by British Cycling's women's team manager Simon Cope to Team Sky at the conclusion of the Dauphine Libere stage race in France on June 12, 2011.
UKAD has only said that it is investigating 'allegations of wrongdoing within cycling' and two of its investigators met with British Cycling staff at the Manchester Velodrome on Friday.
Brailsford had reportedly been asked to explain by the Daily Mail why Cope was in France on June 12, 2011 and the newspaper reported that Brailsford said Cope was there to see Pooley. But she was actually racing in the Basque Country in Spain on that date, finishing fourth in the Iurreta-Emakumeen Bira stage race.
Pooley told cyclingnews.com: 'The only thing I know is where I was on June 12 (2011) and I absolutely was not meeting anyone from British Cycling, anywhere. Certainly not Simon Cope at La Toussuire.
'When you're being questioned about something as important as this you shouldn't just come out with guesses and if it is an honest mistake then he (Brailsford) should be checking his facts.
Now supports seeeduino xiao m0. 'It doesn't matter to me, it just looks bad for them. It's at best silly and careless.'
Team Sky welcomed the UKAD investigation and is 'confident there has been no wrongdoing', while Press Association Sport understands that Wiggins and his representatives have received no notification from UKAD and believe the 36-year-old is not a subject of the investigation. Both Team Sky and British Cycling say they are co-operating with the investigation.
Press Association Sport understands Team Sky and Brailsford have tried to ascertain the events of June 2011, gathering written statements from staff present at the time and documentation to piece together the events.
The evidence was for British Cycling and UKAD, which is investigating more than one allegation of 'wrongdoing'; on Thursday there was one solitary claim. UKAD did not go into any detail about the allegations and mentioned no names.
The logistics surrounding a cycling team are complex and packages are regularly transported.
Determining the contents of the specific package will be central to the investigation, which could take some time. The whereabouts of individuals will be important, too.
Pooley added: 'Maybe it was an honest mistake. It's clearly quite a serious issue because it's about the perception of cycling, and anti-doping.

'I'm the kind of person who keeps records of everything. I was at a stage race in Spain losing the yellow jersey on a descent in the rain. I can distinctly remember it because it was a bit of a disaster.
'I looked up my old training diary to see if I'd forgotten or anything and I've still got the flight numbers from how I got home.'
UKAD would not comment on what was discussed when its investigators met British Cycling representatives on Friday in order to 'protect the integrity of the investigation' and would not disclose whether the meeting was pre-arranged or the result of an unannounced visit.
Team Sky, launched with a zero-tolerance policy to doping in 2010, 'strongly refute' any allegation of wrongdoing and say they had asked British Cycling to contact UKAD.
Press Association Sport understands the UKAD investigation did not originate from a source within Team Sky or British Cycling, which have been intertwined since the road team was established for their first season in 2010.
Sky's backing of British Cycling dates back to 2008 but that arrangement has now ended. However, the media company remains committed to Team Sky.
British Cycling said on Saturday that Dr Richard Freeman would not accompany the team to Qatar for the week-long UCI Road World Championships, which conclude on October 16.
Freeman was Team Sky doctor in June 2011. He was also the doctor who initiated Wiggins' application for therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) for 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 d'Italia.
Wiggins and Brailsford, the British Cycling performance director until April 2014, have strenuously denied any wrongdoing, insisting each time the TUEs were medically necessary, to deal with a pollen allergy that aggravates his long-standing asthma condition.
The TUEs also had the approval of the UCI, cycling's world governing body, and there is no suggestion that Wiggins or the team have broken any rules. Wiggins on Saturday welcomed the investigation.
Concerns on Thursday were also raised about the availability of controversial and powerful painkiller Tramadol among the Great Britain team at the 2012 Road Cycling World Championships.
Tramadol is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's monitoring list, with worries over its side effects.
Former X Factor star Frankie Cocozza has said he is working as a labourer after the perks of instant stardom led him to spend thousands of pounds on a party lifestyle.
The Brighton singer made headlines on the ITV show’s 2011 series, where, aged 18, he revealed both his singing talents and his buttocks illustrated with the tattooed names of his sexual conquests.
He was eventually booted off the programme after a crew member reportedly overheard him bragging about drug-fuelled sex sessions.
Cocozza, now 24, told the Mirror newspaper that he has since blown £200,000 on clothes, travel and booze, but has no regrets.
After the release of his own music and reality TV appearances, he now mixes mortar for £7.50 per hour. Contactfree steam.

He said: “I have no regrets … I performed on live TV in front of 14 million and that’s such a great thing to tell people, I didn’t have to have a real job for a long time after the show, and me and my mates had the best time.
“I went back to work because I needed more dough, but I think I was just bored. I sat in my room for the last three or four years playing guitar every day.”
Admitting that he “wasn’t any good at singing,” he attributed his turning to drink to the deaths of both his aunt and his best friend and told how his upbringing led to his careless attitude with money.
“It was too young too fast,” he continued.
“I always wanted to get out of where I lived and get away, so then I had the opportunity and the money and I went mental.
“Me being careless with money comes from when I didn’t have much growing up; I would get a tenner at the weekends if my room was tidy, but compared to others it was nothing.”
