Sir Bradley Wiggins says 'borderline rape' by former coach led to him using 'cycling as distraction' — five-time Olympic gold medallist says he suffered during a three-year period involving an unnamed coach who allegedly groomed him from the age of 12
Sir Bradley Wiggins, the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France, has once again spoken out about the alleged grooming he suffered at the hands of an unnamed cycling club coach during his early teenage years.
"In recalling this stuff to add weight to the interviews and trying to really beef it up, I found I was recalling a lot of the incidents in my head over and over again - particularly this guy's face. It really hit me hard. I have to be careful how much I do to help people at the expense of myself." "My greatest shame was that another man had done that to me. I couldn't get my head around the abnormality of that — particularly at 13. That is a trauma. From that moment, I pretended it didn't happen, and I dedicated my life to cycling as a distraction."
