most significantly that of sir bradley wiggins, the nation's most decorated olympian. rt's authors point to is the use of certain drugs by wiggins and his former team, team sky, the purpose of which they say was not always to treat medical need but to improve performance. that is something both team sky and wiggins strongly refute. and whilst they didn't break anti—doping rules, they did, the report says, cross the ethical line. and the head of the team, sir david brailsford, must take responsibility. but this report goes much further than just cycling. they say the evidence of lord coe, the head of athletics governing body, to mps on the committee in 2015, was misleading, when he sought to distance himself from any knowledge of allegations of doping in russian athletics. the report also speaks of shock at an injection of a drug called l—carnitine given to sir mo farah before the 2014 london marathon. whilst it isn't a banned substance, there are strict rules around its use, yet that dose did not appear on farah's madical record. it's cycling, though, a sport which has

he and bradley wiggins have not come up he and bradley wiggins have not come up with the complete storyhat makes sense which is truthful, so we need some real honesty otherwise their reputations will be in tatters andi their reputations will be in tatters and i am not sure they can ever come back from the mire they are in at the moment. in response to the report, sir bradley wiggins refuted the claim saying, i find it so sad that accusation can be made where people can be accused of things they have never done which i then regarded as facts. team sky strongly refute the claims as well and say, we ta ke refute the claims as well and say, we take our responsibility to the sport seriously. we are committed to creating an environment at team sky where riders can perform to the best of their ability and do it clean. the details in this report came about after mps heard evidence at westminster, but the shock waves have spread far and wide into the world of cycling and into athletics. mps claim lord coe, the president of athletics world governing body provided misleading answers over when he f

team sky and bradley wiggins and dave brailsford ?and bradley wiggins and dave brailsford? the sport of cycling thought it had got through a mire, lance armstrong era put by the wayside and we were through that sort of period, but it seems that now more trouble is looming and don't forget chris froome, britain's card for don't forget chris froome, britain's ca rd for successful road don't forget chris froome, britain's card for successful road cyclist, is facing allegations needs to clear his name as well. not happy times here for british cycling over the sport of cycling as a whole. thank you, david. the football association chief executive martin glenn has apologised for causing any offence after he used the star of david and the swastika as examples when explaining the fa's charge against pep guardiola for wearing a yellow ribbon in support of catalan independence. guardiola was warned twice before christmas for wearing the ribbon and he has until this evening to respond to the fa charge that breaks their own rule on the display of

and cyclist, bradley wiggins, speaks out after a parliamentary report in britain says team sky crossed an "ethical line. " hello, and welcome to the programme, where we start with the footballing news that nemanja matic score a stoppage—time winner from outside the penalty box as manchester united came from two goals down to beat crystal palace 3—2 and regain second place in the premier league. the serbian fired home a wonderful goal off his left foot to grasp the match from palace who had led 2—0 three minutes into the second half and were on the verge of moving out of the relegation zone, but it'sjose mourinho‘s side who take all three points to move two ahead of liverpool who they face at old trafford on saturday. i always believed, you know, i would be like this and tell my last day. always believed. at other times more than others. but, obviously, with this morning, i always felt it was possible. it was a rollercoaster on sunday as well. after working so hard together, you needed a positive result, and we conceded a goal from a corner kick. the same thing happens today. so hard tr

six years ago, bradley wiggins won the tour de france.he family is just horrific. bowing to the crowd... i don't know how i'm going to pick up the pieces up. now, the way he won is being called into question. this is a man fighting for his reputation. it used to be so simple. the tape is broken and so is the record athletes have long been dreaming about. this sporting legend, we're told, was sustained on pilchards. back then, roger bannister reportedly thought it was cheating to speak to your coach on the day of a race. his passing camejust ahead of a report from the digital, culture, media and sport select committee, which pulls no punches. they had modern—day athletics in the firing line too, but when it comes to cycling, the committee says the application by wiggins‘s team sky for a therapeutic use exemption for triamcinolone, a powerful asthma drug with performance enhancing qualities, before three of his biggest races, crossed the ethical line. so with a drug like triamcinolone, which is a very powerful drug, it has very powerful ben

what about the reputation of its biggest ambassador in sir bradley wiggins? damian collins, who chaired the select committee in westminster, he said well over six months ago that the reputation of british cycling, team sky, was in tatters. and this report has now finally come out, saying the reputation of dave brailsford and sir bradley wiggins has been torn to shreds. it is seriously damaging for cycling, for the sport which i love, and which is my livelihood. but you know, at the very elite levels, as dave bra ilsford often know, at the very elite levels, as dave brailsford often says, it is about marginal gains, about the little bits of advantage that you can get against competitors from around the world. if these drugs are not illegal, some might argue, what exactly is the problem? these drugs, only given under special circumstances, so you have got to prove to your doctor, and your doctor has got to say that you need this medicine to take part in your sport. you then have to go to your national governing body. they then have to apply to the world governi

so very strong words there from sir bradley wiggins.llowing the story closely is the sunday times chief sports writer david walsh. he believes there are still questions to be answered by team sky's general manager, sir dave brailsford. he came into the sport of professional cycling saying team sky would do it differently. he came into the sport in the post lance armstrong era of cycling. we're going to do with in a better way, we're going to be whiter than white. they set themselves a very high standard, and then they didn't live up to that standard. what about the governing body, over basic medical records, not keeping them? i would say, basic medical records, not keeping them? iwould say, like basic medical records, not keeping them? i would say, like so many people in so many other sports in this country just now, people in so many other sports in this countryjust now, we have all been seduced, you know, by success, gold medals, brilliant success, you know. the country going up in the medals table all the time, and everybody saying,

the champion cyclist sir bradley wiggins and his former employers at team sky have been criticised for an ethical line" by mps, in a report on doping in sport. the digital, culture, media and sport committee says sir bradley used drugs notjust for medical purposes but to enhance performance. sir bradly became the first british rider to win the tour de france in 2012. both he and team sky say they "strongly refute" the allegations, as richard conway now reports. he is a sporting icon, a tour de france winner and britain's most decorated olympian, but a damning report has accused sir bradley wiggins of unethical behaviour over his use of drugs, that mps say were taken to boost performance and not just for medical need. these do not constitute a breach of the doping rules as such, but do those rules need to be changed if there are very powerful drugs that are known to have performance enhancing properties that can be used by athletes in competition? should those rules be changed? the question of the kind of ethical line of drugs use is ultimately a test that the team have set for themselv

the mps alleged sir bradley wiggins used asthma drugs to boost performance, and not just for medical unconvinced. do you feel an ethical line was crossed, as the mps suggest? it's what in the report and what i read. when you can see that substances were used, not for health problems, but to increase your performances, then, yes, that's something unacceptable for me and the philosophy we have. so if it's not breaking the rules, can it be cheating? if you are using, you know, substances to increase your performances, i think this is exactly what is cheating. despite the controversy, sir dave brailsford remains in charge of team sky, but lappartient told me he now wants the world federation's anti—doping division to launch their own inquiry. i want them to investigate and to see if there is some violation of anti—doping rules. britain's top rider, chris froome, continues to compete despite an adverse drugs test last year, and the team sky star could defend his title in this summer's tour de france with the case still unresolved. what would the effect of that be? that would be a disaster
