Mail Wiggins and let him see the example you are setting
BTW the sales analogy wasn't mine.
Dr. Maserati said:Sure.
As you are the one that appears to know a lot about British Cycling (to the point of putting your mortgage on the line for them*) if you can get me his email I will happily contact him - I may also include some other outstanding questions for him.

I tell you what, PM me your email address and I will pass it on to Wiggins. If he wants to converse with you, he will be in touch.
andy1234 said:You would have been involved with the BCF in the mid 90s, not BC.
Completely different organisation as you well know.
A few part time coaches and an old boys network was a far cry from the professional setup of BC today.
I would bet my mortgage that there is no programme within BC today and I can guarantee there wasnt one in the mid 90s.(though the results of the time are probably proof enough)
Dr. Maserati said:Done.
Damn, I prefered your old quote - but I can see why you might want to change the terms and conditions.
“Not a problem: 11am on the dot I would be outside the front door of my local, waiting impatiently for the landlord to open up. I wouldn’t move for the next seven hours as I steadily sipped my way through 12 or 13 pints.

Bradley Wiggins reveals descent into drink and depression following Athens Olympics
For a guy who's fought a few demons of his own, he seems remarkably short on empathy but is quite long on hypocriticism...

Truth be told he hates Floyd be because Landis had come to terms with his demons. Wiggins hates that. Floyd stood up like Brad never could. Sad.

Wiggy knows damn well that "never failing a test" doesn't mean a damn thing."There isn’t an athlete or a cyclist out there that isn’t more tested than he is, certainly since his comeback, he’s probably been the most tested cyclist in the pro peloton and you take that on face value and that he’s never failed a drugs test and until he does he’s clean."
Lance? Is that you?"He’s probably been the most tested athlete and never failed a drugs test.”
Ah yes, the most recent assaults on Floyd's character. Very good, Bradley. The Lance & Johan Seal of Approval.“I think you have to question Landis’ credibility because he lied under oath before and the stories that you hear about him drinking and things like that and you know, [making] telephone calls to people I know, threatening them with things, you just think that the guy appears to not all be there."
Exactly. No one's asking anyone to be a hero (although it'd be nice if more people tried to be), but going over to the other side of the fence and defending the indefensible is, errr, indefensible.roundabout said:He could also try middle ground. Something vague on twitter ala Evans.
