  • So Wiggins should have his Tour win removed because he took a drug that's allowed out of competition out of competition. It's also allowed in competition if you have a TUE for it. Wiggins had three TUEs for it.

    If he, and by extension, Team Sky were doping then they seem to have got about it in a very unusual way.

  • So he was legally cheating then.

    Skimming through the interview:

    Now David [Walsh] is now trying to say, ‘there were loads of really nice people in Sky, and this is terrible. This is a small little nub of bad eggs.’ Well, I tell you, I haven’t met these really nice people in Sky. I have had bad experiences with practically everybody on that team.

    I include Rod Ellingworth in that – I have had bad experiences with all of these guys. I’d love to know who these nice guys are, as they certainly don’t act in a way that would lend you to have any faith in them.

    David may talk about these nice guys, but I haven’t had any experience that they have been in any way believable or transparent.

    So no bias at all then Paul.

  • Do you know the story behind this? Kimmage was going to be embedded with Sky at the Tour in 2011. Brailsford asked that he attend a training camp first in order to get to know people, understand how the team worked etc. At this camp, Kimmage was interrogating people, burst in on Wiggins whilst he was having a massage, and generally putting noses out of joint. The riders demanded the invite to the Tour was rescinded as they didn't want that kind of stress during a highly stressful race. Kimmage took personal offence, which was compounded when David Walsh was embedded with the team at the Tour in 2013.
