Just flipping through the TV channels and settling on Soccer AM on Sky, and who should be on but Bradley Wiggins. They briefly touched on the current issues and he said once the investigation process is over he will have his say and he 'has lots to say and it will shock some people'. Not sure what that means.Twitter: @RichN950

Nice to see Ed supporting BC's action plan initiative by modelling the new team colours."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

I suspect it will be entertaining and involve colourful language with references to a certain newspaper.0 -

Has Wiggins been interviewed by the CMS yet and if not, why not? If he has that much to say then the CMS should get him in.0 -

That's a question for the CMS to answer, seeing they didn't consider his attendance necessary."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
The MPs have said they won't be asking him to appear. My guess is that Collins thinks BW is too popular with the public and it won't be good for his (Collins) profile/career - which is largely what select commitees are for.Top_Bhoy wrote:Has Wiggins been interviewed by the CMS yet and if not, why not?

Wiggins on marginal gains accordingly to Cycling News."I think it’s a load of rubbish, if I'm honest. I do," he said, according to Eurosport. "A lot of people made a lot of money out of it and David Brailsford used it constantly as his calling card. But I always thought it was a load of rubbish.

''Twas a tad desparate IMO
Is it acceptable for senior riders to routinely refer to the female colleagues as mean girls? :P
No it's not acceptable for senior riders to bully younger riders - if true the senior management that allowed a culture like that to exist should be sacked.
I assume you're being sarcastic and don't genuinely think that BC management can be held responsible for the behaviour and words of every cyclists in their squads let alone one who is pretty much an ex-rider? Then again given that the current trend seems to be blame for everything they do, did and don't do who knows?
It was a joke but I was just reading in the Guardian that a culture of bullying was a finding of the 2012 internal report but one which they didn't mention to UK Sport - so with a serious hat on it does seem that the management should take some responsibility for not taking bullying seriously enough.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -

Nope. No idea what you're trying to say. I get a sense that you're in some way mocking me or what I've posted but your point is lost.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

Once again the MPs say there are questions to be answered etc. Surely the fact that the procedures have changed since then answers all their questions. They found out the process didn't work and amended it. That's generally how things improve0 -

When I broke my arm playing basketball in an NYC pickup game (yes yes) they prescribed me what turned out to be vicodin which, while legal in the US, was very much a class A in the UK.
The main reason behind such legislation is more about the type of prescription addiction that, certainly in poorer communities anyway, can be a gateway to heroin abuse as the money & access to the opioid pharmaceuticals runs out.0 -

It'd like Groundhog Day. There's nothing new in that article - so no doubt Roan will be all over it like a rash.
Until the UKAD Report is published there is nothing more to add.
On an unrelated note, I see the DM have done themselves proud with their 'Leg's-it' Headline. What a scummy rag that really is.0 -

Damian Collins says that when a cycling team has administrative paperwork missing, major questions need to to answered, but when his Conservative party treasury claims it has no paperwork for 100k of undeclared funds, there is nothing to see.
The hypocrisy is as staggering as it is predictable.

typical double standards from the MPs. There's no questions to be answered. They had a rbbish system, found out it was a total shambles, then put a new system in place. What more can they answer other than we have no proof as the system wasn't very good at the time.Blazing Saddles wrote:sherer wrote:Latest story on this is here from the BBC

The biggest question for me is - how much tax payer's money has so far been spent to find out a doctor can't use dropbox
Collins's next big project is tackling 'fake news'. I imagine he'll end up questioning the accuracy of the weather forecast (he's already said he won't be looking at national newspapers)Twitter: @RichN950 -
why r u guys attacking the people who are attempting to clean up cycling ?0
