    "Sir" Bradley Wiggins

    Britain's Lance Armstrong?

    Certainly not helped himself. The book compared to recent accounts of events is different. From what I'd heard on the radio, they were saying that there's no mention of asthma in his book. While it's not a big thing, it's a credit to overcome something like that and become the success he has. By contract, I know Paul Scholes was asthmatic as a kid; while little is made of it, it's never something that was hidden.
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

      It's not the same.

      No doctor came out and said that Lance was doping and survived.

        OK Lance Armstrong exerted total control over his whole doping escapade until david Walsh got stuck into him. I do not think Brailsford and Wiggins have anything like the same level of control.
        It does stink however.

          Are you accusing the highly litigious Sir Bradley and Team Sky of anything in particular, DA?

            Doesn't look good it has to be said.

            A clear pattern of use of a banned substance immediately before major events, even if they were officially sanctioned as permitted treatments.

            Injections of corticosteroids are supposed to be an emergency last resort for a severe asthma reaction, not a regular treatment.

            Not just Wiggins this casts doubt over though, it doesn't reflect well on Team Sky either and the whole UCI anti-doping regime is going to come into question (again) now.

                  The mere mention of steroid use is unsettling as most know the gains of using them are substantial.

                  Next thing we'll know Chis Hoy was o'ding on Porridge oats.

                    Not all steriods are the same.
