Sir Bradley Wiggins TV 陳列する，発揮する: We saw a human 味方する, but it wasn't enough to 救助（する） his corroded sport

• e-mail

It was an 保証するd 業績／成果 Sir Bradley Wiggins gave on the BBC on Monday night: 確信して yet not 完全に devoid of emotion and with 滞るing moments which 追加するd a little humanity to an individual who has rarely 出発／死d from a トン of righteous indignation over the past few years.

‘This is a direct... this is... this is... someone trying to smear me,’ he 宣言するd at one 行う／開催する／段階 during the interview he had finally been 説得するd it would be wise to give. There were soundbites, too. ‘I would have had more 権利s if I’d 殺人d someone.’

This interview, 空気／公表するd on the 早期に evening news, followed an episode of Pointless. There was something terribly fitting about that, given its breathtaking 欠如（する） of 評価 for the way that his and Team Sky’s dissembling and 回避 have shredded the 評判 of cycling and cyclists.?

Wiggins argued his corner, talked the talk, but did nothing to 除去する the 毒気／悪影響 of 疑惑 and 疑問 which stalks his sport.

It always seems to be someone else’s fault with him. ‘The whole Jiffy 捕らえる、獲得する thing was a shambles,’ he said of that mystery 一括 運命にあるd for him. ‘God knows (what was in it). Your guess is as good as 地雷.’ You wondered, when he said that, where on earth the self-認識／意識性 was. Wouldn’t you go to the end of the earth to discover the contents of a 一括 if a 誤解 about it was 廃虚ing your 評判?

He isn’t one for the small 詳細（に述べる）s, though. Wasn’t it a little too convenient that Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman lost Wiggins’ 医療の 記録，記録的な／記録する because he couldn’t get to 支配するs with Dropbox 科学（工学）技術 to 株 them? And then had the misfortune to take a laptop 含む／封じ込めるing them to Cyprus and find it stolen.

However, the 37-year-old did nothing to 除去する the 毒気／悪影響 of 疑惑 which stalks cycling

Wiggins preferred to discuss the 影響 of this whole 論争 on his children and his own search for personal contentment. ‘I’m trying to be in 退職 and do other things in my life,’ he said.

No thought, then for the real 犠牲者s of this スキャンダル: the young sprint cyclists who have 投資するd their lives in に引き続いて the dream to be like him.

Some have been 調印するd up by Team Wiggins with the 約束 of 存在 ‘the 未来 支持する／優勝者s of this sport’ ― to 引用する the team’s website. They 運動 to races in 大陸の Europe, sleep in their cars on フェリー（で運ぶ）s, eat at motorway services and earn maybe £10,000 a year ― £28,000 at best. They 含む racers like Ethan Hayter who, at 19, won gold for 広大な／多数の／重要な Britain last week in the team 追跡 at the World 跡をつける 選手権s in Apeldoorn, and Jack Carlin, the Scot who won two silvers there.

Cycling is becoming so 有毒な and corroded that you have to imagine the money will have started running out by the time many of these young competitors reach their prime.

Skoda, one of the main sponsors of Team Wiggins, did not 答える／応じる yesterday to our enquiries about whether support would continue. You only have to 見解（をとる） the 最新の Skoda advert to 高く評価する／（相場などが）上がる why. It 逮捕（する）s Sir Bradley walking the dogs, waving the kids off, at the school panto, jamming with one of his mates, to the soft 緊張するs of a ballad ― as the man in question 運動s a Skoda.

‘I’ve spent my life doing everything possible to 達成する the best t imes I could,’ Wiggins says, a line as 深く，強烈に ironic now as the 支払う／賃金-off. ‘Skoda ―driven by something different.’

He will tell you that he can’t help that. ‘I can’t 支配（する）／統制する what people are going to think,’ he told the BBC, 毅然とした to the last that everyone else has it wrong.
