Jiffy bag
in the room
That was never investigated by WADA, UKAD or UCI. The only anti-doping investigation was the Testogel delivery which ended with no doping evidence and passed to GMC who've now got it stuck in High Court medical tribunal having nothing to do with anti-doping or Wiggins. Wiggins has never been charged or had to defend anything as far as any public record shows. Even Daily Mail finally admitted they didn't know what was in the jiffybag, they could only imply what it might be according to Lawton and it's all a fabrication by Sutton anyway, so...

Oh no, someone hacked the UKAD website!

 
And UKAD ended with what doping charges PhiLiz re. Wiggins, heck even re. Sky? The package all originates from Daily Mail and Sutton doing a deal sealed in a safe because Kimmage couldn't make sense of Suttons dates at The Times. Why do you think the High Court had to do what they ended up doing? UKAD investigated a newspaper story hidden by a legal signature, they didn't investigate a doping charge. GMC had to dig to the depths of the breakdown of Sutton's and Freemans relationship to even get any coherence about the Testogel delivery.

I said nothing about charges. You said, several times he wasn't investigated by UKAD, which he was. The rest is just goalpost moving now that you got caught lying about it.

Yup

It appears Sky abused the living crap out of the TUE system. Who knows what custom cocktails each rider was taking. Perhaps some mix of corticosteroids, antidepressants, ADHD meds, and some inhalers :) (not too mention pain meds) Didn't DB or some other Sky staffer say something once about treating sports-related issues like medical issues?

Lying? They investigated what is and still remains only a newspaper allegation, no charge of doping ever materialised, letalone entered an anti-doping tribunal for Wiggins. It's a hot air story of Sutton pissed at Wiggins for not buying him a RangeRover as bonus and Freeman testifying against him and so got him sacked from British Cycling over Jess Varnish and basically ended Suttons career other than a few months Freelance coaching for China. Sutton lives in Spain, his family and young son in the UK. I mean, no doubt it strained his family relationship, but at the end of the day it's Team Sky & Wiggins carrying on as normal not Sutton or Freeman, so perhaps that tells you why nothing went anywhere re. doping.

Yes, lying:

He's never been under any actual investigation by UKAD, UCI or WADA has he as far as I can tell? Newspapers, yes.

Unfortunately this article is paywalled
it's Kimmage's response to Brad cosying up to Lance in a recent podcast.

Hypocrisy or what?

Just read the article and it is startling how Wiggins has been seduced again by Lance during this years Tour when choosing to appear on his Podcast. As a young rider he always appeared to be slightly in awe of Armstrong, then after Lance confessed he done a U turn and called him a lying bastard.

Which only makes his recent decisions and comments regarding Armstrong all the more curious. He brought up Lances name unprompted during race commentary during this years tour when he referred to him as ‘the great Lance Armstrong’ only days after appearing on his Podcast.

Wiggins always comes across as a very conflicted person. He labelled Lance a lying bastard yet he himself previously said that he had never had an injection prior to being exposed during the Fancy Bears hack.

He also castigated and threw all kinds of insults at Floyd Landis yet now refers to Lance as ‘the great Lance Armstrong’. It’s mental gymnastics and pure hypocrisy.

btw, cavendish also appeared on the armstrong podcast.

i can literally never have respect for these guys. they are either tone deaf or complicit.

either way, get them out of cycling forever (along with nibali, valverde and the entire bahrain crew)...
