Bradley Wiggins calls doping questions ‘the worst thing’
Written by News on 25/03/2017
Sir Bradley Wiggins has described the allegations of wrongdoing against him and Team Sky as the "worst thing to be accused of".
Wiggins retired from cycling at the end of last year after nearly 20 years in the sport, winning five Olympic gold medals and the 2012 Tour de France.
The Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee was told at the start of March by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) chief executive Nicole Sapstead that its investigation into Team Sky had been hampered by a lack of records.
UKAD is investigating allegations about a mysterious package sent to the team and used to treat Wiggins.
"It’s been horrible," Wiggins told Soccer AM.
"Fortunately there is an investigation going on, it’s the worst thing to be accused of when you’re a man of my integrity, what I believe anyway and what I’ve done to get to where I am today.
"But there is an investigation and obviously I can’t say too much, because that will run its course and then I’ll have my say.
"Of course I’ll have my say, there’s a lot to say and it’s going to shock a few people."
General manager of Team Sky, Sir Dave Brailsford, admitted earlier this month they had made mistakes in relation to anti-doping and testing practices, but refuted "untrue" implications made because of them.
Wiggins also told Soccer AM he does not miss cycling "one bit".
"I haven’t been on my bike since November. I don’t miss it one bit," he said.
"It’s just been nice to be home. It’s my son’s birthday on the weekend, tomorrow, and I think it’s the first birthday I’ve been here for 12 years – he’s 12.
