Cycling: Bradley Wiggins does not have to fear any consequences. The doping investigations against him and Team Sky were dropped. In September 2016, the authorities began investigating the so-called "mystery package". The investigation was unsuccessful due to a lack of records.
Did Wiggins use banned substances in 2011?
It was 2011. Bradley Wiggins received a mysterious package on the last day of the Critérium du Dauphiné. The rest is history. He won the Tour, then dropped out of the Tour de France, only to finish third at the Vuelta a few weeks later and win the 2012 Tour de France. Years later, it is determined - as always in cycling, much too late. The investigation had to be stopped due to a lack of records. Team Sky is relieved: “We are pleased that UKAD has completed its investigation. We have always said we have done nothing wrong and we have cooperated fully with UKAD over the past year.” A bland aftertaste remains. According to rumours, the substance glucocorticoid triamcinolone should have been in the package. Sky claims that it only contained the cough suppressant Fluimucil. As so often, we will probably never know the truth. Bradley Wiggins shouldn't care now.
