Wiggins etc all "cheat" to a certain extent, I would reckon just about all professional sportspersons (see what I did there ) cheat ethically, protein shakes, special diets etc and they, like all people competing, interpret the rules and use what ever is just inside the law to gain an advantage. No different to a race team taking the machine down to the minimum weight for the class and getting the fuel calc wrong or something.
Wonder how many athletes etc could say they are 100% clean, never taken any potion or pill to get them back into training etc.

Re: The British, We're a strange bunch.
I've no problem with Wiggins etc if they have stayed within the rules, in competition there is no ethical boundary, you stay within the rules set. Motor racing is no different, designers and teams are playing with the rules all the time and pushing around the edges to get that fraction extra so why does anyone think athletics etc would be different.
It used to amuse me that as an ACU licence holder you are subject to these same rules and the doping people could have called round to ask for a sample to test at any time, I'd have laughed and told them to piss off.

Re: The British, We're a strange bunch.
According to the head of the british anti dope mob, there is no evidence Wiggins broke the rules. Even our honoured MPs acknowledged there is no evidence.
The hounding of Wiggins is disgusting.
Personally I'd be looking more closely at the SA runt who succeeded him at Team Sky.

Re: The British, We're a strange bunch.
If it was not for all the made up regulators, commissions, ombudsmen, quango's and official enquirers all the politicians family's and friends would have to find real jobs and life would be so much easier. And just on another thought........
Ban all no win no fee solicitors because they just WIN WIN.
If it ain't broke.....don't try to fix it !!

I think there should be cycle races / athletics etc. where drugs are allowed.

Re: The British, We're a strange bunch.
I have thought this for a long time .. clean Olympics and ..er.. dirty Olympics,
would be an interesting comparison,
but I expect the `dirty` bazztards would cheat and go part `clean`

Re: The British, We're a strange bunch.
I think shotput and 100m would be best for this.
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.
