Sir Bradley Wiggins: Drugs were to cure medical condition - BBC News 

I was a teacher at the time Bradley was at school, the child with asthma was prescribed swimming or cycling. Some became very good at it, those kids are now in their late 30s or early 40s and (like me, now in my 70s) still suffer with breathing problems due to asthma and allergies. In my mind excessive numbers of asthmatic sports people now is not a coincidence.

@@lesleyhawes6895 go to sleep Lesley you getting stupid if you don’t have enough rest

Marr is an establishment ring piece, Tory yes man!

how is he busted? lol, the cycling governing body granted him permission to use the drug, this isn't an EPO or blood bags scenario lad, and believe me it isn't only bradley who uses these TUE's, i'd predict the vast majority of high level athletes have used them at some point in there careers, if anyone is to Blame its the UCI for not being stringent enough with there laws on what athletes are eligible to take

its the hypocrisy and lies that sickens me.

Wiggins Used the stuff kiddo,.

And he claimed to have a fear of needles!

It's contagious.

LMAO!

Yeh it’s Amazing that the toughest bike race in the world can be won by a bunch of asthmatics, in my school an asthmatic couldn’t get through carol singing he collapsed😳🤷‍♂️😂

@@TheMrbc74 Be wasn't called Bradley was he?

@@pizzaboy3946 Bradley or Chris can’t remember😂 but he did collapse during candles are all burning bright……….thump

The Last Baron probably, but he did it legally lol

The Last Baron 😂😂

For sure a drugs cheat strip him his knighthood still not come out about it has he to prove what was delivered to him Cheat.

Focking cheater

He had a TUE.....

is the same meldonium nonsense, i am going to take this drug for a heart problem, diabetic problem, or any other body organ/part problems i don't have, why because it is not on the banned list and it makes me feel better. just because something is not banned doesn't mean you can take it and pretend like you are not cheating, and your excuse is it wasn't on the list.

Guilty as sin

Wild Outdoor Living why is a 40 year old man speaking with upward inflection's like a student, oi cheater ...grow up

Well, here we are

david yule guilty of nothing, doping rules clearly list what substances are banned, Wiggins didn't take any of them.

No he wouldn't. Lance was steely under intense pressure. Bradley, getting an easy ride from Marr, quivers and stutters during his answers.

@@TwentyTwenty90 agree, not a patch on Lance, on the bike or the camera

Are you suggesting that we should cast away all asthmatics from competing in a sporting events?

@@JosephLycettCycling so if someone has arthritis is it fair that they can't compete on the same level playing field?

@@JosephLycettCycling yes. perhaps compete in the Paralympics....

It's been well documented that Wiggins is a lifelong Asthma sufferer.

Like I said... Asthma & Gullible = A champions fairy tale. You don't even have to be overly smart to get a TUE or anything testified by a doctor. Especially when there are millions of dollars involved and you got people on your team managing this stuff for you with their life long connections. You gullible people are the ones that keep this going. You want to see super human performances and believe that your "Hero" is an honest and clean man, when there are plenty of other athletes lined up that are just as good as him wanting the same multi million dollar sponsorship deal as him, ready to do whatever it takes to get it. Laughable.

Alex Swan If you say so. Obviously not a qualified doctor who has medically examined Bradley Wiggins, but of course I should take your word for it....

dlkdyscot I'm not naïve at all. Alex is disputing Wiggins is an Asthma sufferer without a) Being medically qualified to do so and b) Never medically examined Wiggins in his life. It doesn't matter what else he says for those very reasons.

you think all medical people are above board and honest individuals.? do you dispute that wiggins has told fibs? he said he had never had an injection in his life. lie no.1 . lie no 2. he justified it by stating that it was going to put him on a level playing field. so by that token every other cyclist should have been able to have had that steroid too . just to keep the playing field level . why should a professional sportsman have access to steroids ? I'll let u believe the asthmatic dilemma then if u like.

She Billings Ferrari was a 'Specialist' doctor.

right? I was given a provental inhaler when I was a boy.

Yep also a doctor and it doesn’t fall on any protocols that I have seen.

Theres your answer right there in front of you. It was used for perforance enhancement. I dont have asthma but have allergies, allergies dont stop you from competing, its ridiculous to think that. An inhaler is one thing, usibg TUE is another

That's brilliant

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But we all know he did have sexual affairs

ST&NLY ST&NLY Exactly.

Didn't you know a blow job is not sexual relations? So says Bill Clinton.

That was just his asthma playing up.

I disagree. When you are faced with loaded questions like he was noting, you can't win. Everything you would answer would be looked at as "fixed" or a "lie". When you are #1, you have a GIANT target on your back, and people will do anything they can to dethrone you.

Least lance was good at lieing lol

Every Olympic medalist is on steroids

Little known fact: Asthma is contagious.

@@brakesforsnakes757 It is if you are on their team. Lol.

'In 2018, [triamcinolone] was the 106th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than six million prescriptions.' yes people can go get it

David Millar said it was the drug that made him wired, & he took EPO.

It's contagious.

There is no way in hell an asmatic can ever run or win the tour de france. Ive seen people die from bloody running on a threadmil. They only way they could is with drugs.

100% this - Triamcinolone isn't administered like Wiggins had it - it is given in a drip over 24-48 hours.

Float Uphill in many instances (especially in cycling) asthma and asthmatic conditions can be developed from the sport. Exercise induced bronchoconstriction is especially common in cyclists as it is an incredibly strenuous sport on the lungs, often in cold weather, often on roads around cars and all the associated emissions.

Float Uphill Yeah Im kinda with you but then what about things like contact lenses, insulin...etc

Most ignorant comment of all time.

They should give him another medal for his audacity :)

ROY F I do, every time🌮🌯😜

Who eats dips at party

ROY F = scandalous cheating / wake up man.

@@rivertolka I agree...but it wasn't called cheating....that my point

@@ABC-td7zm Depends what type of party you go to.... But one that has dip....which is necessary to make my point, which you wilfully ignored, in the attempt to be funny, I guess.

durianrider your picture is of a known steroid abuser foh

durianrider you gotta dope to cope

Liar 30 Bananas a day!

Jus hard work and dedication bro

That's nothing, they Knight pedo's too.

You mean Sir Jimmy S ?

Our roided up guy beat your roided up guy.

Terrible analogy. Wiggins and Team Sky presented themselves as whiter than white. The TUE use at critical moments was worthy of exposure and interrogation by journalists even if ultimately people decide it was legitimate.

Samorry Touray lmfao and all the American women gymnastics lol all sick athletes can not even do a tumble without TUE's lol.

They seem to be inlucky with do dgy steak also,you would think they would be more careful with Beef(clembuterol)....Sounds like he has done better at cycling than in Elections.
