Calm down love, it's the internet.
Actually Armstrong was also taking corticosteroids in 1999 and got busted for doing so, he too knocked up a dodgy doctor's note, although in his case it was backdated.
It's very clearly a performance enhancing drug, even if (and it's a fuck off big if) he was taking it for legitimate reasons, the other effects of the drug are massively performance enhancing, he knew that, the staff knew that.
I liked Wiggins and I'm no Team Sky basher. But on the balance of evidence produced I'm 99% sure that he deliberately took a drug primarily based on its performance enhancing properties to allow him to win the 2012 TDF.
