Pro cyclist are not normal people, as such they require abnormal treatment to compete in rediculous events such as the TDF. Therefore in order to compete at the top level in this sport some medical assistance is going to be required (it really would not be possible without a dr). The rules exist in order to regulate the level of medical assistance in order to create a level playing field. To this end Wiggins is as “clean” as they come.
Just because team SKY over egged their clean stance for marketing reasons, does not make Wiggins a cheat. Since when has sport been anything to do with ethics? Surely any ethical issues are included in the rules, no?
Any comparison with Lance is ridiculous.
If the same level of scrutiny was given to Quintana, Nibali, Aru, Valverde (FFS), I’m sure similar medical issues would be uncovered. But there seems to be no interest in applying that level of scrutiny elsewhere.
