it's Kimmage's response to Brad cosying up to Lance in a recent podcast.
Hypocrisy or what?
Oprah interview was "difficult to watch - heartbreaking for the sport. In the end, I felt he deserved everything he gets. I felt no sympathy for him”

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.
