Bradley Wiggins ‘breaks silence’ and requests source of ‘Jiffy bag’ allegation

http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/bradley-wiggins-breaks-silence-requests-source-jiffy-bag-allegation-358917

A right mess. No one charged.

Inconclusive but a bad look for Sky and somewhat damaging to Wiggins.

Difficult to believe Sky with all their meticulous preparation, marginal gains etc, have no details about this.

I think your viewpoint biases your conclusions.

I’m not too educated on pro tour cycling, so what’s a jiffy bag?

If he tries to counter-sue the governing body for “mental anguish” or whatever else you can counter sue for…that is going to make a governing body (any of them) hesitant to pursue any future allegations with anyone. Might open Pandora’s box to doping. Scare the governing body enough and they wont act unless they are 100% sure and there is irrefutable evidence of doping.

It’s British for “padded mail envelope”.

I think your viewpoint biases your conclusions.

What bias is that ?

What are your conclusions ?

It is difficult to believe they couldn’t track this, but on some level I just gave up caring and only focus on myself. TUEs are abused in cycling, triathlon, nordic skiing, gymnastics, tennis, etc. I’m sure Wiggins was using and abusing cortisone injections and who knows what else, just like many others still are. You can still micro-dose EPO. There are other drugs that aren’t EPO and have a very similar effect. There are gray area drugs like pain killers, erectile dysfunction drugs that improve blood flow, etc The biological passport is still easily beatable as well. Those who were cheating before it was introduced or were cheating before they started the passport can keep cheating and as long as the values remain consistent they pass.

I’m to the point where nothing surprises me. I just watch and enjoy the sports. In a decade we will figure out what full program the top pros are on. In the mean time we can act like everyone is squeaky clean.

We all know that he and the team doped - why try to act like Sky is clean. How can this even be a story at this point?

His really like his statement, “To say I am disappointed by some of the comments made by UKAD this morning is an understatement. No evidence exists to prove a case against me and in all other circumstances this would be an unqualified finding of innocence.” He is not denying cheating, he is just explaining that you can’t prove his cheating. It’s like trying to prove a mafia killing, you have the body, but can make a solid connection.

are you saying that pro cyclists are using Cialis as a from of doping?! bwahaha though this may be true, I’m quire sure that the alleged Cialis doper could be easily spotted by the huge boner he’s gonna be get from an ED pill! ha ha ha

use of vasodilators for performance enhancement, in particular at altitude, has long been a topic of discussion. It’s worth noting that nothing in viagra or cialis actually causes you to “get a boner.” This is a common misconception. Cialis and viagra simply enhance vasodilation - expansion of blood vessels. When coupled with sexual arousal, this makes it easier to get a boner. But without sexual stimulus - i.e. during a bike race - you’re no more likely to get a boner when you take viagra than when you do not.

Have you ever taken cialis by any chance @rappstar? Anything rubbing against your junk when you’ve taken this type of medicine will arouse you! That is the point of it, an effortless boner. Go ahead and take cialis for the doping effect, you’ll just poking your belly for 112mi 😂😂😂

No evidence exists to prove a case against me

…and so have said many others before him.

For sure. It’ll be interesting if anything more ever comes of this. The UKAD statement indicates that they are unable to take any action due to the lack of medical records and conflicting testimony. Brailsford in particular was caught in a number of untrue statements (Freeman visiting Pooley, Sky bus wasn’t there, pressuring Daily Mail to kill the story, etc). Perhaps the most interesting is Freeman’s cancellation of his testimony. Instead, he just sent it testimony.

Perhaps one day in the future, a Sky rider who was there at the time will get popped and will trade information for a lighter sentence (see: Hincapie, Vande Velde, etc). Perhaps Freeman’s laptop will show up buried under a pile of Q Rings. Maybe Sir Brad’s sideburns will grow lips and start flapping.

Odds are that someone will one day get pissed off enough and will start talking.

LANCE never failed a drug test!

“No evidence exists to prove a case against me”

When an athlete or their representative says that, it’s the first clue that there is a problem.

Wiggins will change from Cycling to Rowing!

Pretty sure if I was riding an Andean, I’d get a boner pretty easy! Even without the vasodialators!

“I took up rowing when I retired just to keep fit, but my numbers started getting quite good, so I’ve started taking it up professionally now and getting coached seven days a week,” he said in comments reported by the Daily Mail.

**Well yeah – the jiffy bag helps… **
