I hope not but it is looking rather dodgy. How much of that is down to the media liking to pull down a success story?

He is only now admitting to this now that he has been sprung - if this had not been leaked no one would have been aware. Sounds a tad suspicious to me...______________________

It's simply revenge for Russian sports people being banned from the Olympics and Paralympics. If you cast doubt on everyone else then you can argue that they are as dirty as you. Except it's known that certain sports people have things like Sjögren's, asthma, ADHD etc and in the case of certain events people with particular conditions are drawn to them because of seeing others with the same condition doing well."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Thinking about it, the other side of not publically declaring a condition is obvious; you don't want sympathy, special treatment or this sort of speculation that you're only winning because the steroids in your asthma inhaler have boosted you past others.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

"The three-time Tour de France winner also reiterated that he himself would never abuse the system and told athletes to take full responsibility for their own actions.
His statement read: "I take my position in the sport very seriously and I know that I have to not only abide by the rules, but also go above and beyond to set a good example both morally and ethically."
So while Wiggo's actions were deemed legal at the time it does not mean that he hasn't acted unethically and deserves to have his morality questioned as he does appear to have massively abused the system. The fallacy being touted that this STEROID didn't improve his performance on at least 3 specific occasions is laughable in my view.Comment
