UK Anti-Doping has confirmed it is examining multiple allegations of wrongdoing in cycling.

The Daily Mail reported on Thursday night that UKAD is investigating Team Sky and Sir Bradley Wiggins over the contents of a medical package delivered to the team in France in June 2011.

A UKAD spokesperson subsequently said on Friday that it was holding "one investigation on multiple allegations", although it refused to specify against whom.

A UKAD statement read: "We have confirmed that we are investigating allegations of wrongdoing in cycling. To protect the integrity of the investigation we will not comment further on this matter."

Team Sky insist there has been no wrongdoing and are liaising with UKAD.
