Wiggins is going a long way to nailing the whole fucking shooting match today....
There is always one story like this. He is being questioned. He will probably get thrown off the tour and banned. Cyclists are tested more than any other sport, and it is always very public. TBH - it makes sod all difference to cycling or TDF any more.
As a matter of interest, why are cyclists tested more than other other sportsmen and women?
Because this reputation came about quite correctly over many years of constant abuse of the rules. Now on any stage of the tour, the stage winner, wearers of ALL the classification jerseys, and then a number of randomly selected cyclists are tested immediately upon finishing the stage. There are then random anti-doping tests the next morning as soon as they get up. There is regular out of competition testing too. Cycling wants the cheats rooted out, and wants to be clean.
