Sky dominates cycling right now because they have the most money that equals to the best doping.

It's really hard to believe that he's 100% clean after almost all previous winners, or top finishers have tested positive for at least some kind of banned substance. We all know how hard it is to win the Tour de France and it takes a lifestyle trimmed to perfection to do it. If this was done by pure talent? I highly doubt that, there are thousands of excellent riders who emerge at age 16-24 and still, don't even come close to winning any of the big races. never mind the Tour de France. Obviously, Lance has done a great deal of damage to the sport, but only because he got 7 wins. I don't think that at this point we can talk about a rider's ability, or talent, we all know that it's all about sponsors, money, expectations and building a brand name. Without let's call it "dope" l think it's humanly impossible to accomplish that. My opinion. And not just cycling.

[@TheSchmuel]

To argue that todays top cyclists are not doping (in one way or another) is to argue that todays top bodybuilders are not using steroids... In order to compete at these levels you must have a boost. If the riders are not doping we should see the peloton times slow down to what they were in the late 80s and early 90s just prior to EPO use skyrocketing in pro cycling. The times are still on par with doping times as far as I can tell. I say legalize everything and let them race. Let them go. It will be more entertaining for us the fans to watch. Just like the MR Olympia contest; Its very entertaining to watch FREAKS the size of houses walk around and flex. Imagine if all sports were clean and it really was the best man winning...How boring for us. We would all develop ideas that we could possibly make it to that stage ourselves. The whole world would exercise, train, eat healthy and get super-fit.... I have met way too many nice fat people to support this path.

[@neologian1783]

So sincere....so heartfelt.....so down to earth and matter of fact. One has to wonder if this was recorded before or after his fraudulent applications for TUE of banned substances. Funny how something like 50% of the peloton has asthma......it's almost like having an ailment that limits your ability to breath actually provides an "assist" and can make you a better cyclist. Look, I'm not buying what ANY of these riders keep trying to sell until they stop doing what Wiggins did here and instead respond to all doping questions with: Yes, it's rampant, it's ubiquitous, the pressure to participate is constant, it did not go away when they caught Lance. It simply went deeper underground and the team doctors and loophole finders are consistently one step ahead of enforcement. Until then the "All clear after Lance" baloney is exactly that....baloney.

jonafari iglesias He raced with Lance in his comeback Tour, and even Lance himself still claims he didn't dope at that time (even though there is some evidence he did blood transfusions on some stages of the Tour). Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that the sport was generally cleaner in those years (2009/10) compared to the 90's and early 2000's.

[@stevefm]

jonafari iglesias Well in the 2007 TdF Wiggins own Confidis team-mate Cristian Moreni was caught doping and the team withdrew from the race (difficult to race when you are being questioned by the Police). Wiggins reacted strongly and criticised dopers. He has a strong track background yes but was actually riding in Europe in a pro team as early as 2002. We are now learning that in athletics ATLEAST 1 in 3 medals are won by dopers (abnormal blood tests) so you would think the same is true of track cycling (and all other sports) anyway. It's certainly possible he was clean and unaware of the scale of the problem due to being an irregular Peloton member.

[@AKindChap]

+jonafari iglesias In Christophe Bassons book it was very, very clearly made an open secret that _EVERYONE_ was cheating. If you didn't cheat, you were seen as untrustworthy.

Tyler Hamilton also said that without drugs it wasn't possible to finish better than 90th. Still, Bradley's a bugger with his talent, isn't he?

[@barrymanulow4896]

I don't think any cycling fan looks at the winner as someone with great cycling skills. They look at him as someone who has great doping skills. So what I propose is that we completely change the interview questions after the races to When did you first realise you had potential to become the best doper in the world? WHo was your doping role model? How many injections do you need to win? Do you always transfuse your own blood or can you mix it in with a few wild beasts to make it more potent? Can you advise up and coming dopers where is the best place to source your EPO etc ?

[@eximusic]

The only thing Bradley (no "sir", I don't belong to that national cult) should have learned from Lance is that cyclists should avoid talking about doping period. They're all guilty.

[@eximusic]

@@scooter2163 lol - the last hold out of presuming cycling doping isn't systemic. All of us amateur racers ride training rides with retired pros, coaches, and upcoming TDF racers. There wasn't a competitive USCF cyclist I know that didn't already know that Armstrong was guilty back in 1999. It was just the general public and recreational cyclists that were naive. And every 2nd place TDF winner during Armstrong's years were busted at some point for doping. The times up those TDF climbs rose radically during that EPO, blood doping era - and . . . . get this, they haven't come down to this day. Gee, clean cyclists matching the times of doped cyclists. It's a miracle! Praise Jesus! And Wiggins raced against many of those doped cyclists. You can't keep up with dopers without doping.

[@eximusic]

@@scooter2163 I have more than a clue, there was a wealth of information that came out from all of the people who participated in the doping on Lance's team to give really good insights on how it all took place. Sprinters don't win TDFs by the way - impossibility. Yes, the teams selectively pick the people for doping that have the best chances of winning. But on the days 7 riders from USPS led Armstrong up one of the hardest climbs in the TDF, dropping other climbers, all of them were doped. So of the possible TDF winners, if one is doping then all the contenders from all the teams have to in order to have a chance. If testing improves on one drug, like it did for EPO, then they switch to another method (blood doping in the case of EPO crackdown). They have tons of options, and new ones with no tests created yet coming out all of the time. People are working on this day and night. And I can tell you Froome wasn't clean and there's evidence out there for that. And it didn't start with Lance, he walked into an already existing situation at a time when the US teams seemed to be the only ones out of the loop. They weren't winning and found out why.

This video looks before Wiggins won the TdF. Guess Wiggins' perspective is now different being a TdF winner and closet doper.

[@jonjonesongasstationdickpi6179]

Idiots that comment without actually watching do my head in!

[@jesuschrist921]

How about the anger concerning the fact you are basing your life and success on riding a bicycle? Anything there?

[@nickacelvn]

Jesus Christ Ahh good point Jesus ...

[@TheXBaca]

Jesus Christ Well atleast something that exists.

[@briz1965]

to comments, I do not agree everyone dopes. cycling, road racing is the hardest sport full stop. When I road raced 1986-1990 (UK) no one I knew doped - it wasn't even known in amateur circles at all. I was part of a break that rode the fastest road race in the UK in 1989 and was a 3rd cat at that. Still didn't get a point as I was 7th out of 8 that broke away. It takes true balls to try your best and win, 1000's hours of training and sacrifice - Lance was simply a cheat and should not be allowed to enter any race, any level, any time. - full on twat - Brad proved himself years before he turned to road racing and well proud he finished off TOP in Rio - my thoughts

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

Brad isn't clean. No one in pro sports is... This is all steaming pile of s***.

[@echocornet]

They are big mates now. Lance is saving poor old Wiggo in more ways than one. Ain’t cycling a strange old sport…..

[@BloggerMusicMan]

If you read the Reasoned Decision, it was something like 30 out of the top 33 riders in the 2000 Tour De France who tested postitive for some kinds of drugs. I feel bad for those three clean riders, they're playing against a very stacked deck. That's not a culture you can eradicate easily. It's probably going to take decades if at all.

[@pedalman]

Don't pick out the parts of a reply that suits you, what I was saying is that the tour has got shorter as the years have gone by so the average speeds will obviously be higher. 2000 distance 3662km..... 2005 distance 3600km..........2012 distance 3404km. (200km shorter about a full stage less) You also have to take into account number of mountain top finishes , number of hilly or flat stages, the weather conditions wind strength and wind direction , all will affect speed...... complicated.

[@bjmartinphotography]

So which unnamed British cyclist is on that Russian doping scam recently?

[@cooke729]

It was a track athlete pal...

[@paulpat8180]

Both cheats

[@klimota]

Excellently said. MM

[@MrYoumitube]

His haircut is like a cross between Oasis and the Beatles

[@abone2pick]

I love how in cycling we know all know our heroes dope unlike other sports fan that still believe in fairy tales 🤣🤣

[@stevenpicanso6801]

Put yourself in his shoes, just for a few minutes. You're competing at the highest level, you're representing the USA, lots of pressure, you live to ride, the fans love you, you get cancer, you beat cancer, you get back on the horse and start riding again, you lied about taking epo multiple times. Now take a step back, and wonder why he did what he did, regardless of whether he is a piece of shit or not, the dude was an amazing athlete drugs or not that takes a lot of determination and training to compete at that level. He is not the only one, just a major one that got caught, the fans made him and destroyed him at the same time. Where the fuck is the loyalty in that. Anyways, don't really care about him taking the drugs personally, and his lie to me was for the greater good for not only his career, but for the fans. You'd have to be him to fully understand that.

[@31Bandhavgarh]

Steven Picanso When you think of all the hours and hours of training rides to be in that physical condition. Climbing the Alps mountains in training for The Tour. I respect someone who works that hard. Seems such a big waste! These guys don't make the big money that some 7' guy makes shooting a three pointer or some fat 38 year old DH who can't run to first base. I enjoyed watching the good times and so did the USA. Everyone at this level has an advantage. A Rod just got 3000 hits, all natural! Destined to baseball's Hall of Fame.

[@johnmartinez7440]

No one's denying he was a good athlete, or why he did it. But that doesn't magically make it OK to dope.

[@xander1756]

A a cyclist I have no interest in folks that ride to win. If your motive for a sport is to win and be the best against others, it seems to me you've lost the love of the sport itself and it's now all about ego.

[@landlogger]

Glad you did!

[@juanjeremy2012]

when wiggins admits doping they gonna take the "sir" out from in front of his name since he doesnt have seven yellow jerseys?

[@psulse]

Like others have before, if you are winning you are doping. Simple as that. Come on, two professional cyclists training the same basically. The clean cyclists has zero chance vs the one doping.

[@henrycorley3914]

Bradley you were very aware how big doping was in cycling. Don’t act like you didn’t know.

[@My010969]

The bigger question is, who cares if these guys have "doped"? People think "oh, you doped, that's why you can win". Its crap, these riders have dedicated their life to cycling (or whatever sport they do). Doping doesn't make you a champion, hard work does.

[@bovinebear2979]

I care! Imagine if you can put a computerized supped up jet engine in a nascar you'd win nascar. Who cares right? You won! Lance won because he was great at lying bribing. If they can all dope, I'd argue that marco pantani would have kicked lances ass but we'll never know cos pantani got caught and couldn't bribe his way out.....

[@pedalman]

Have you never realised that there are people who have just got more talent ? That is what makes them a better athlete. Armstrong said he couldn't win without drugs, well if he had more talent he might have been able to win without cheating.

[@JamesR-vh8iu]

Post up... Packet up Oh thanks.. Now we can win😂😂

[@cooke729]

It hurts me to see that cycling has such a negative view on cyclists that are clean... No doubt you'll get the people commenting about how "they know for sure that all top cyclists dope because its impossible for real hard work to pay off"... If you look at all the anti-doping barriers Team SKY have in place there is no way that Wiggins would have been doping. Looking in 2011 when Chris Froome's coach Bobby Julich was dismissed for doping some 20 years ago so he would not affect the team, and last year when Justin Tiernan-Locke was dismissed for missing out on his biological passport a couple of times... Cycling is entering a much cleaner era and people need to accept that

[@carlosdeno]

I’d stay off the glue Princess, I cracked three ribs reading your comment.

[@andrewtaylor7351]

It seams strange all the top riders suffer from real bad asthma and hay fever and there just happens to be a doctor on the team to prescribed them real strong medicine for them but when those same things are almost stopping my wife and daughter breathing in the summer and all the doctor will give you is 99p medicine lol if I get a full sky TV package will we get the same medician

[@ryand141]

Great comment. Shame on them and Sir Wanker Wiggins.

[@johnberg181]

Doping or not, you have to be an absolute head case to winn the tour de force.

[@thunderpooch]

+johnberg181 Yep. Doesn't suffering like a slave, gasping for air, and lactate building in your legs for 3 weeks straight sound fun??? It is probably cool to realize you have earned the team leader spot, but then reality sets in. Time to suffer like a bitch.

[@jerome9626]

Lance is an inspiring cheater Wiggins is a depressing one

[@frithstar]

Sir Bradley, you have a nice hair cut did you do it yourself?

[@petyrkowalski9887]

Wiggins looks like "Hayley" off Coronation Street.

[@djc1234]

This is what Armstrong has created - now no-one is considered clean. Great job, Lance.

[@philsurtees]

Exactly! That fucking asshole has completely destroyed the credibility of cycling...

[@philipsangalang5077]

Oh, you mean it was better when everyone was considered clean but in reality was PED drugged up?

[@johnstewart1148]

Armstrong had a lying competition with wiggins … Armstrong said he went over Niagra falls in a barrel … wiggins said “ yeh I was there I seen you do it

[@NxDoyle]

So Tim from The Office got out of the paper game. Good for him.
