Wiggins promise to shock

-

CRAIG JONES SIR BRADLEY WIGGINS has vowed to “shock a few people” when he finally has his say on doping.

The five-time Olympic champion described the claims he may have broken anti-doping rules – which he denies – as “horrible”.

The former Team Sky rider promised he would have “a lot to say” when UK Anti-Doping has finished its investigat­ion into allegation­s he was injected with triamcinol­one, a powerful corticoste­roid, at the end of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine race.

“It’s been horrible but there is an investigat­ion going on,” said Wiggins, 36 (below).

“It’s the worst thing to be accused of when you’re a man of my integrity and given what I’ve done to get where I am today. “I obviously can’t say too much because that will run its course and then I’ll have my say. It’s going to shock a few people.” Winners of four of the last five Tours de France, Team Sky have been under scrutiny since October when it was revealed UKAD was looking into a claim Wiggins was injected at the end of the 2011 Criterium.

Meanwhile, Chris Froome’s hopes of victory at the Volta a Catalunya were crushed as the Team Sky rider lost 26 minutes on his rivals during the penultimat­e stage.
