Cope is at the centre of an anti-doping investigation by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), after travelling from Geneva to La Toussuire to deliver requested medication to Sir Bradley Wiggins on the last day of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine. 

The coach was the publicly funded national women’s team road manager at the time, but couriered the package to the event, which Wiggins would go on to win.

Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford previously revealed to the enquiry that he had been told that fluimucil, a decongestant, was delivered to the traditional build-up race for the Tour de France.

The product is used to treat coughs and sore throats.

Dr Richard Freeman, who received the package on behalf of Sir Bradley, has also been requested to appear in front of the Committee, along with UKAD chief Nicole Sapstead.

The evidence session is currently scheduled to take place on February 22.

"There is a considerable public interest in UKAD's investigation and it is also important to our inquiry into doping in sport to understand what they have been able to determine from their investigation," said Damian Collins MP, chairman of the Select Committee.

"The Committee has been told by both British Cycling and Team Sky that they have supplied all the information they have relating to this investigation to UKAD.

"However, we need to know if they have received documentary evidence which confirms what was in the package that was delivered by Simon Cope to Team Sky.

"Without this evidence, I am concerned about how it is possible for the anti-doping rules to be policed in an appropriate manner, if it is not possible to review the records of medicines prescribed to riders by the team doctors.

"I hope that on 22nd February, if not before, we will receive clear evidence on this important matter."

The last session of the Committee’s doping inquiry proved to be an explosive affair, with Beijing 2008 Olympic road race champion Nicole Cooke giving scathing evidence on her experiences in the fights against doping and sexism in the sport.

"Measures and schemes put in place to fight the abuse of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) are inadequate and ineffective in planning, management and execution - the so called war on PEDs," she said.

"I summarise that as the wrong people fighting the wrong war, in the wrong way, with the wrong tools."

The Briton stated she found it "astonishing" that Cope did not know the medication he was transporting.

She also questioned the timing of therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) for Sir Bradley, claiming their use prior to major races "raised questions and makes me sceptical of what they have done".

TUEs allow otherwise banned substances to be used to treat medical conditions, with no suggestion of wrongdoing against the athletes using them.
