PATHETIC DEFENCE BY FALLEN HERO WIGGINS
THE ferocity with which the English establishment, and the country’s guard dogs in the media, turned on Bradley Wiggins this last week was startling. And inspirational. Not an inch was afforded to their Olympic and Tour de France champ as he huffed and puffed as accusations of cheating rained down on him. A damning parliamentary report stated he and his former colleagues at the Team Sky cycling team had abused the system and used a powerful drug in order to come out on top. That was bad for Wiggins. His defence, however, was worse. Especially his pathetic reply to the BBC’s sports editor, Dan Roan that he knew nothing about the contents of a jiffy bag that has become the most famous jiffy bag in the world. ‘God knows, your guess was as good as mine,’ the Knight, who may soon be beheaded replied. ‘The first time I became aware of a package was when the Daily Mail contacted me in October 2016. But the way it has been reported is as if I have ordered this package and I am waiting for DHL to deliver it for me, and I have got to sign for it... “Thanks for the medical package.” I don’t run the logistics of the team... I was busy doing my job.’ Wiggins is clearly finished as being anyone’s hero, and when he is finally carted off to the Tower of London he should not be pointing his finger at either MP’s or journalists. He should be loathing himself for failing to come up with even one halfdecent explanation for looking so damned shady.
