Well we can certainly say that the biggest joke about Wigans is not his name. Its his opinion...
My god what a tool

Just a quick aside - having just reread Kelly by a certain David Walsh, it is rather interesting the change in attitude toward doping from DW.Darryl Webster said:The peeps who uphold the Omarta with the greatest of " dignity " say absalutly nothing .
Merkcx, Hinault, Delgado, Induran , Kelly. All show how it "should" be done..they dont get burnt, they dont look like idiots and , though we know in there time they also doped they dont sit and deny it. They just dont comment or judge.
Im not saying what they do is correct or just...but it`s a dam sight more dignified than insulting our inteligence Mr Wiggins.
A "class act" youl never be.![]()
There isn’t an athlete or a cyclist out there that isn’t more tested than he is
BroDeal said:How can anyone trust Wigans, Sky, or Garmin? He, just like all pros, has to know that Armstrong is a hardcore doper. He knows Armstrong is guilty. What is more, at Garmin at least one of the ex-Postal riders must have told him that the whole Postal team was dirty. Vaughters has said that he is open about his past with his riders. He has to have talked about the contrast between Slipstream and the teams that he rode for. So Wigans knows that Landis is telling the truth. Yet he goes to the press and defends Armstrong and badmouths Landis.
Wigans is a lying sack. And if he will lie about something when it would be far easier to deflect questions by refusing to comment then he would surely be willing to go further when he had a vested interest to lie,. I think we can safely assume that everything that he has ever said about clean cycling was a public relations sham.

it's a thousand times more effective than you'd expect.![]()
Granville57 said:There are so many things wrong with Wiggins' statement. Is this really the same guy? He's reaching word-for-word out of LA's playbook.
TexPat said:Shocking how ridiculously stupid he sounds!
It's so bad it had to be staged.
Granville57 said:Now this has got me to thinking. Are we seeing some of the same from both Floyd and Wiggy? Are they just tossing out the ridiculous statements because the whole thing is mired in ridiculousness? I really have to wonder now.
Wiggy often has a bit of wacky Brit humor to offer, so maybe he's just pushing buttons for the fun of it. His specific use of words seems to be so telling. Maybe he's repeating Lance's lines as a twisted message to LA's inner circle as to just how much of a bad joke this whole thing has become? They would have to nod agreement with all of their carefully crafted talking points that are now spewing from Wiggy's mouth, but they would also sense that they were being taunted with their own drivel at the same time.
Is Wiggy clever enough and/or tweaked enough to do that? I've never met the man so I couldn't accurately make that assessment. But he is certainly odd in his own way. The answer will determine whether I despise him for his complicity or applaud him for his audacity.
I'm beginning to think that "crazy" is the color of the day.![]()
webvan said:Good points, I think Wiggo is taking the p*i*s*s*
Having said that I would still like to understand why he had a pop in his Hb just before the final week in 2009 like Armstrong. Is it because these guys are such supermen that one rest day and they spike up?
TeamSkyFans said:The repeated use of the most tested line, he knows that isnt true. Simple maths says cav, cancellara and a host of others are more tested. Wouldnt surprise me at all if he added that in to wind up everyone on here.
andy1234 said:Everyone is conveniently ignoring this comment.....
"All the other stuff that’s come on with Landis and things like that is one for the courts and whether the truth will ever come out is down to this investigation. I think time will tell with that"
luckyboy said:Maybe he should've left it at that rather than bigging up Lance and calling Landis a madman..
luckyboy said:I mean, I really don't know how he could still be talking about Landis' credibility seeing as there's a federal investigation going on that has come about in some part due to him. And everything we are hearing in the press that is coming from the actual investigation isn't being made up..

Mambo95 said:This is the major problem with riders making their figures publically available. People with no qualifications make judgements about things they don't really understand. They just read on the internet that the values should drop, so if they don't they think they have evidence of doping.
I doubt you have formally studied this stuff. I certainly haven't. So neither of us really know what we're looking at. We don't know what a clean rider's data should look like (taking into account factors such as when in the day the tests were taken, what sort of stages had they been doing).
Admittedly there was one Danish expert who said he 'didn't like the shape of the curve' (an Excel feature), but also said there wasn't enough data and he had looked at any actual numbers. Everyone else said there was nothing unusual.
Ferminal said:It's kind of stupid just posting a few details too - it should be the complete list of tests and values (I think Basso does this?). I'm not sure if Wiggins just released those plots or if he included more detailed numbers.
