And when people say, ‘Oh you’re that cyclist’, I’ll say: ‘No, that was a few years ago. I’m a social worker now.’”</p> <p>Wiggins’s reputation has suffered some damage since his retirement. The Fancy Bears hackers revealed details of therapeutic use exemptions Wiggins was granted ahead of some of his biggest races, including the 2012 Tour, while an investigation into the contents of a jiffy bag delivered to the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné for his use was inconclusive. Wiggins called the investigation a “malicious witch-hunt” at the time.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/aug/27/bradley-wiggins-pursue-career-social-worker" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/aug/27/bradley-wiggins-pursue-career-social-worker</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17291#post-239993 Sun, 01 Jan 2017 11:46:59 +0000 chdot 239993@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>British Cycling was warned about the dangers of its relationship with Team Sky just months before women’s coach Simon Cope embarked on a four-day journey to deliver a medical package for Bradley Wiggins, it has emerged.</p> <p>...</p> <p>"Could anyone quantify the impact Cope's moonlighting away from his publicly funded role, and the failure to conduct a single camp for the British women's road team he was meant to manage, had on our failure in Copenhagen?"</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/british-cycling-warned-about-team-sky-relationship-months-before-copes-delivery/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/british-cycling-warned-about-team-sky-relationship-months-before-copes-delivery/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17291#post-239888 Thu, 29 Dec 2016 21:46:37 +0000 Frenchy 239888@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>I remember something about a tennis player getting a proprietary med then finding out too late that the ingredients were different from the UK version and contained a banned substance.
