With Armstrong defeated, Kimmage turns his attention to Wiggins
Now Lance Armstrong has been outed as a cheat, one of those who had worked tirelessly to expose the truth behind doping within cycling, former pro turned journalist Paul Kimmage has taken aim at British Mod-God Bradley Wiggins.
Current Tour de France champion Wiggins has been a tad evasive and ambiguous when asked about Armstrong’s doping in previous interviews, and Kimmage, who lost his job as a writer with the Sunday Times this time last year, has fired a stinging Twitter attack in the direction of the Olympic champion, who is currently in a training camp with Team Sky in Mallorca.
Wiggins has previously been enraged by Twitter slurs, walking out of a press conference after a foul-mouthed rant during last year’s Tour.
Make of Kimmage's comments what you will.
Interesting that Bradley Wiggins is still following the Lance Armstrong blueprint for success: 1 Ignore the message 2 Attack the messenger

It is one year tomorrow since I lost my job at The Sunday Times...profitable work this anti-doping.

If I still had a job, I'd be camped outside the Sky training camp in Majorca and would not go away until Wiggins adressed the message...

...the hiring of Gert Leinders, and the sacking of four key members of staff since he won the Tour.

Oh, last thing Bradley, if you would like to address those issues in an interview, I'd be more than happy to sit down with you.

Speaking of Lance, the Boston Globe have caused a bit of a furoure over this distasteful editorial cartoon referring to the disgraced American’s doping and fight with cancer.
