Isn't it possible that the "joint" is just a hand-rolled cigarette? They're popular in Britain where packs are really expensive.

Regardless, I think smoking anything is pretty disrespectful for the sport, and makes you think, if you really are into gaining every marginal advantage, would you afford to smoke?


It's actually fairly common for top sportsmen and women to be closet smokers. In woman's tennis there are quite a lot including Maurismo, Graf, Capriatti and Hingis to name just a few. Tim Henman smoked through most of his career and David Ferrer is still a pack a day smoker. In swimming Dawn Fraser and Van Alsmick, in cricket, Botham, Warne and Flintoff.

A mate of mine had a half marathon PB of 64 minutes and smoked about 15 a day!

So Brad not only smashes EVERYONE aerobically, but does it as a regular smoker? Not even blood transfusions is going to explain that. :eek:

So he is now a regular smoker, is he?

Do you know that for sure, or are you like Hog and you can just tell by looking at him? You guys are amazing. Add this to your list of 'facts'.

Wiggo must be stoned, it looks like he's about to take a light off his mate for a number that's already lit!

Did you just learn forums? I was responding to another's post. Context is king. Question marks indicate questions, not statements.

Unless it was a rhetorical question, which, of course, is what it was, and thus not actually a question.

You are completely and utterly wrong.

I do not think he smokes nicotine, which is why I have said, twice now, that it looks like a rec drug - ie marijuana. I do not accept B Wiggins smokes on a regular basis, as being a smoker AND smashing everyone makes no sense. To wit

Not even blood transfusions is going to explain that.

ie I believe he is winning via doping. If he was smoking lots as well, he would need something more, as any dimwit knows the negative impact on fitness that smoking has.

We can't say from this picture that Wiggins is a regular smoker.

it is more likely that he's just smoking weed for fun.

Wiggins was due to join world champion Mark Cavendish in the Danish tour, set for August 22-26, but has been given additional time off. It is not known when he will return to competition.

Funny "coincidence" :rolleyes: when you know that THC metabolites can be found from urine 4 weeks after smoking just a one single joint. And even as long as 10 weeks after heavy cannabis use. Depending how much he has been smoking during his holiday, he will come back late September (one joint) to next year (several joints / bong sessions every day).

PED, white widow, marihuana, wheeeeet, what's in a name?

Dont forget Wiggo boy is just a scouser boy, he'll announce his retirement soon.

And, to be clear, ffs, let the man enjoy himself. Dont like this paparazzi style foto's.

Medicinal ?

Anyway , i expressed myself poorly , what I wanted to say is that wiggo may be one of those people who smokes occasionally , not a regular smoker.

That's ok then. I was worried about him.

To be honest the guy is full of it. Beating up on France & Italy about doping but being au fait with drugs. Just shows he's not worried about drug tests.

I really couldn't give a sh!t but it proves that he is a conplete tool.

Same really as clean living Lance and his habit of shoving stuff up his nose.

Hard work my a55!

Ah yes. Fat soluble bits n pieces that takes ages to pass through your system. Thanks for the reminder - makes much more sense now!

You don't really give a ****, but you still had to post all that nastiness, based on an assumption.

The similarities between LA and BW are pretty incredible. Did you realise both Lance and Wiggo had their fathers walk out on the family at age 2?

All I'll say: if after you've won the Tour & Olympic gold and missing kids birthday etc. in the process and the first thing you want to do is get f8888d up at his age demonstrates one thing... he's not happy with the "way" he won.

Wow! You're amazing. When the inevitable doping case happens they should cut out all those long boring bits about evidence and proof and all that crap and just invite you as chief witness for the prosecution. All you'd have to do is come out with your "I just know" line and that would be it, guilty as charged, case over in seconds.

It's just another piece fitting into the puzzle, Roland. Just a shame fanboys and deniers can't see it. Only the Hog and I know this (and I only know because he told me) but sooner or later Wiggins will rip off a huge prosthetic rubber mask only to reveal a smirking Lance underneath with 'I told you I was clean' tattooed on his forehead.
