Bradley Wiggins

[Dee-M-See]

Used drugs to achieve what he won in Cycling
Bye Bye Knighthood lets have it off him

[RandyMarsh]

Was he given the go ahead to use this medicine by the right cycling authorities?

[wolf63]

My cats asthmatic - just felt I should pay this information. :-)

[brainiac]

And no mention of his asthma anywhere in his autobiography!

[RandyMarsh]

you could start a database Db, we could track this.

[agchristie]

^ yeah, it kinda takes your breath away...

[RandyMarsh]

lol

[brainiac]

Maybe it was his asthma that caused him to stick his tongue out during the National Anthem at the Olympics medal ceremony?

[RandyMarsh]

if he has played within the rules then he is fine, if he has not, then we will want the medals, knighthood and facial hair back.

And the lycra

As a cycling fan I have to say I'm hugely disappointed in these new revelations.
Whilst operating within WADA and UCI rules it does not paint an honest picture of him and Brailsford. The TUE itself whilst allowed looks to be more than gaining an unfair advantage in light of it being administered 3 times just prior to a Grand Tour.
Bradley looked more than uncomfortable in the Marr interview, almost like he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and the explanation behind it not being mentioned in his book was highly questionable.
The whole saga casts a cloud over his achievements and his TdF win, sadly.

[RandyMarsh]

oh right, thank you, i think i understand it more now, so it is a smoking gun......

[ChillDoubt]

Not really RM. No rules broken but a lack of honesty and transparency has made for a very sour taste in the mouth for those with more than a passing interest in the sport.
It's got more than a whiff, if you get my drift.

Dear Tour de France

Bradley has been up wheezing all night and we need him to get the good drugs so he can compete on a level playing field.
Yours sincerely



Lance Armstrong.

Lance Armstrong was taking so much drugs , that he was always on a trip, as high as the moon .

[Garaman]

Wiggins claims that he wasn’t using levels that someone would use if they were doping, just enough to put an asthmatic on a level playing field with a non-asthmatic in the Tour de France. Well if it was enough to do that, I would imagine it would be enough to give a non-asthmatic cyclist an advantage. In any case, I read that once a cyclist has Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) the authorities don’t check to see if the drug is within reasonable limits, so there is nothing to say someone couldn’t take more than prescribed.

On the other hand, a lot of pro cyclists do suffer bouts of asthma and are more prone due to the amount of air that they breathe in. One cycling mag claims that around 40% of our cyclists at the Olympics were using inhalers.

[Baldric]

I didnt realise he used drugs, I thought he was done for peddling.

[ToraToraTora]

congrats dee-m-see you win plonker of the year award.

[Hopkirk]

Most asthmatics use inhalers.

Sir Brad had injections just before major events.

Another cycling cheat.

[ichkeria]

Most asthmatics don't do the Tour de France.
A lot of sportspeople are asthmatic. Exercise can actually induce it.
