Blimey. Are these witnesses that Freeman's counsel is referring to going to be called? Or is this a massive kite-flying exercise in the hope that some witnesses appear out of the woodwork? (In which case, the publicity will have helped the cause.) Professional rules* should mean she can't say there are witnesses unless there are. But maybe the publicity will mean that some who are actually prepared to give evidence come forward, or perhaps the existing ones change their mind and decide to actually give evidence.
And of course the doping issue. A lot of smoke. I am still not convinced about the size of the fire.
* I know it isn't a court case, but the general idea still applies.
