Wiggins didn't want it, said "a woman rider" should do it. So that worked out well.
Maybe they thought it was a euphemism.Quote:

Hopefully, she will win a medal. At least I know she will be clean.
I am absolutely not trying to be contentious here, but we know that it is rife within sport, and its not something that athletes seek to draw attention towards. Subterfuge is the very nature of it. How can you know for sure that she will be clean?Quote:
